When you need it

The sworn affidavit that goes with it — on stamp paper and notarised, filed with the Heirship Certificate Application in this library, which the office will not decide on the application alone. A sworn statement naming known heirs and confirming none other is known — evidence, not a judicial finding; it should not promise no unknown heir exists anywhere.

State the death record and purpose; an undisclosed heir isn't deprived by being unnamed. Article 4, Schedule I-A (Punjab/Chandigarh denomination unconfirmed — ask). Does not transfer property or replace probate, letters, a succession certificate or release. Chandigarh: Estate Office file; Punjab: local revenue/authority record.

LEGAL BASIS

Punjab: This affidavit is supporting evidence in the receiving succession/property file and does not itself determine heirship. Article 4 of Schedule I-A is the affidavit stamp classification; the exact Punjab denomination was not confirmed from the sources used. The oath/notarial authority receives the sworn statement, while the substantive succession office/court remains responsible for the underlying claim. No independent appeal route attaches to the affidavit itself.

Chandigarh: The affidavit has the same evidentiary role and Article 4 classification; the exact Chandigarh denomination was not confirmed. For sector/estate property, the substantive transmission is decided in the Estate Office file under the 1952 Act and 2007 Rules, not by this affidavit. No independent appeal route attaches to the affidavit itself.
