But where deceased legal heirs do not apply for inheritance certificate before court, the revenue authorities do not allow<\/strong> legal hairs to transfer immovable property in their own name.<\/p>\n

For Example:<\/strong> where a deceased left behind land, building, house, flat, warehouse, gold ornaments, shops etc then his legal heir need inheritance certificate in the form of declaration suit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It is a mandatory requirement<\/strong> of revenue authorities or housing schemes, that legal heirs must have inheritance certificate in Pakistan. In order to get this certificate a proper case is filled in civil court. It is also known as Warasatnama.<\/p>\n
