A Succession Certificate, Probate, and Letter of Administration (LoA) are legal documents used in managing the estate of a deceased person. A Succession Certificate is issued by the court to legal heirs when there is no will (intestate) and grants them the right to claim movable assets like bank accounts, debts, and securities. It does not cover immovable property such as land or buildings. Probate is a legal process that validates a will, confirming its authenticity and granting the executor the authority to administer and distribute the deceased's assets according to the will's instructions. It applies to both movable and immovable property and is required in many jurisdictions to legally transfer assets under a will. On the other hand, when someone dies without a will and no executor is appointed, a Letter of Administration (LoA) is issued, authorizing a legal heir to manage and distribute the estate in accordance with inheritance laws. Like probate, an LoA covers both movable and immovable property but is specifically used when no will exists. All three documents ensure that the deceased's estate is distributed lawfully and fairly among rightful heirs or beneficiaries.
