Succession certificate
Succession Certificate and Letter of Administration is issued to the successor on behalf of a deceased person that establishes the ownership of legal heirs /successors over the deceased persons movable and immovable property. It is required for inheritance claim in Pakistan when one's family member is deceased and deceased's property should be transferred to the legal heirs as per the sharia law. It is recently given in NADRA's https://succession.nadra.gov.pk/ jurisdiction from court to lessen the burden of courts as NADRA has a full database of Pakistani citizens.
