The route
- Inheritance through the court
- The heirs disagree, an heir is a minor, NADRA declined your application, or the property is outside Islamabad and Punjab.
- You picked this route yourself.
What it rules out
- In Islamabad, a court will not take the case until NADRA declines it.
Steps
- 1. NADRA: In Islamabad, apply to NADRA first. A court takes the case only after NADRA declines. (s10, Letters of Administration and Succession Certificates Act 2020, read 2026-10-28) Islamabad only.
- 2. NADRA: In Punjab, NADRA declines any case with a factual controversy among the heirs, and sends you to the court under the Succession Act 1925. (s5(b), Punjab Letters of Administration and Succession Certificates Act 2021, read 2026-10-30) Punjab only.
- 3. Lawyer: Ask a lawyer which petition fits: letters of administration, a succession certificate, or a suit. (s370(1), Succession Act 1925, read 2026-10-28) Not confirmed.
- 4. District Judge: A petition for a succession certificate goes to the District Judge, signed and verified like a plaint. (s372(1), Succession Act 1925, read 2026-10-28)
- 5. District Judge: Ask the court office or a lawyer for the court fee and the papers the court wants. Not confirmed.
- 6. Lawyer: If you are an overseas Pakistani and the property is in Islamabad or Punjab, ask a lawyer whether the special court must hear this. (s4(3), Establishment of Special Court (Overseas Pakistanis Property) Act 2024, read 2026-10-28) Not confirmed.
- 7. Patwari of the estate: For land in a Punjab revenue estate, report the inheritance to the Patwari at once so the record is changed. (s42(1), Punjab Land Revenue Act 1967, read 2026-10-30) Punjab only.
Open points for your lawyer
- Lawyer: A succession certificate under the 1925 Act deals with debts and securities. The text we read does not settle which petition fits land or a house. Ask a lawyer.
- District Judge: The court fee and the papers depend on the Court Fees Act and court practice, which we have not read.
- Lawyer: The special court Acts send every matter with an overseas party to the special court. They do not say how that fits a succession petition. Ask a lawyer.
Papers
