WillJini’s Succession Certificate in Pune service assists legal heirs in obtaining a court-issued Succession Certificate to claim movable financial assets of a deceased person.
In Pune, families often face confusion between a Waris Certificate or Legal Heir Certificate and a Succession Certificate. A Succession Certificate is specifically used when banks, companies, depositories, RTAs, or financial institutions require court-recognised authority before releasing bank balances, fixed deposits, shares, securities, or similar movable financial assets.

A Succession Certificate in Pune is a legal document issued by the competent court under the Indian Succession Act. It authorises the applicant to collect debts and securities belonging to a deceased person.
It is mainly used for movable financial assets such as bank accounts, fixed deposits, shares, bonds, debentures, mutual funds, and other securities. The petition is generally filed before the court having jurisdiction based on the deceased person’s ordinary residence, or where the deceased’s property is situated if no ordinary residence is available.
When a Succession Certificate Is Required in Pune
A Succession Certificate may be required when Pune-linked financial assets cannot be claimed only through death certificate, nominee details, or family declarations.
It is commonly needed when:
The deceased person passed away without leaving a Will.
Bank accounts, fixed deposits, shares, securities, or other financial assets need to be claimed or transferred.
The nomination is missing, outdated, unclear, or disputed.
There are multiple legal heirs involved in the claim.
Banks, RTAs, companies, or financial institutions ask for court authority before releasing the assets.
This certificate gives the claimant court-recognised authority and gives protection to the institution releasing the financial assets.
What Assets Are Covered Under a Succession Certificate
A Succession Certificate applies to debts and securities of the deceased person. It is not a general inheritance document for every asset.
It can generally cover:
Bank balances and fixed deposits.
Shares, bonds, debentures, and securities.
Mutual funds and demat-linked financial holdings.
Debts or financial amounts payable to the deceased.
It does not automatically transfer immovable property such as flats, houses, plots, agricultural land, or commercial property in Pune. Property-related matters may require separate mutation, 7/12 record updates, Will-based documents, probate, legal heirship documents, release deed, or other legal steps depending on the case.
Who Should Apply for a Succession Certificate in Pune
This service is suitable for legal heirs who need court-recognised authority to claim movable financial assets of a deceased family member.
It is particularly relevant for:
The spouse, children, parents, or other eligible legal heirs of the deceased person.
Families where the deceased passed away without leaving a valid Will.
Legal heirs who are facing requirements from banks, demat account providers, companies, or RTAs.
NRIs who need to claim or transfer Pune-linked financial assets of a deceased family member.
Families where a Waris Certificate, legal heir certificate, or legal heirship document is not sufficient for claiming financial assets.
If a valid Will exists, probate, letters of administration, or another legal route may be more suitable depending on the asset and institution requirement.

I availed of Willjini's POA vetting service. The onboarding and initial connect with the core team was facilitated and supported by Adv. Shweta Ma'am. Details of professional fees were communicated upfront. No hidden costs. Adv. Manisha Ma'am guided me initially, providing vital technical inputs for key decision making. That helped a lot in determing a course of action and appropriate solution for my unqiue requirements. Adv. Riddhi Ma'am helped with reviewing the initial POA draft that I had prepared. The vetting process was thorough and meticulous. A significantly overhauled draft was shared with me and subsequently finalized after taking my inputs and recommendations. I required additional inputs at the time of registration that was further supported by Adv. Manisha and Adv. Riddhi. The registration process was ultimately successful and the POA is ready for pickup. I am grateful to the entire Willjini team for their inputs, guidance and support.
I walked into their office without prior appointment and was attended by Mr.Devvrat Unadkat promptly. He explained with clarity the procedure for drafting a will and also handed over a checklist.
I was assigned a team comprising a Advocate Alpana Rathi and Sucheta Bajaj. From the first meeting with Mr.Devvrat to drafting the will through whatsapp and email by Advocate Alpana and completing the registration formalities by Ms.Sucheta everything went smoothly. The whole team was efficient and professional and with their expertise I am relieved of finalizing and registering the will.
I would highly recommend to my family and friends.
I reached out to them because I needed a will drafted urgently for a house transfer, and I’m honestly so glad I chose them. The team really stepped up. Everything moved quickly and smoothly, but what I appreciated most was how well they communicated throughout the whole process. They kept me updated at every stage without me ever having to follow up. I told them I was in a rush, and they genuinely took that on board — no excuses, no delays, just solid work and a team effort. They got everything done on time and handled it all with care and professionalism. Really grateful for their help and would happily recommend them.
