Succession Certificate in Kerala — overview

A Succession Certificate is an important document for families in Kerala dealing with the affairs of a deceased relative. A civil-court document to claim debts, bank deposits, fixed deposits, shares and other movable assets of the deceased. Legal Heir assists families across Kerala with the entire process, handling the paperwork so you can focus on what matters.

How the process works in Kerala

In Kerala, the Succession Certificate process involves the state's own revenue authorities and procedure. The key points specific to Kerala are:

  • Issuing authority: Tahsildar (Revenue Department).
  • State portal: Kerala e-District portal / Akshaya Centres.
  • Verification: carried out by the Village Officer and Revenue Inspector.
  • Related court matters: handled through the district civil courts of Kerala.
In Kerala the Legal Heir Certificate is issued by the Tahsildar, and applications are commonly made either through the Kerala e-District portal or at an Akshaya Centre. The ration card is an important document for verifying family members, and the Village Officer carries out a local enquiry before the Tahsildar issues the certificate.
