What you type stays in this browser. Moving to a new step asks this site to draw it, but nothing is kept anywhere until you choose to keep a copy — and closing this tab loses it.

Clearing empties every box on this form, and there is no way back to what was in them.

The live draft

The draft, as it stands

This is the document as far as you have reached, not the whole of it yet — the rest appears as you answer more questions. It is rewritten every time you change an answer.

A long blank line — __________ — stands wherever an answer has not been given. It is left that visible on purpose, so an unfinished document cannot be mistaken for a finished one.

No answer has been given, so every place a detail belongs is standing blank. The shape of the document is worth reading even now.

HEIRS

TESTAMENTARY / PROPERTY CONTEXT

REQUEST

Issue the heirship certificate only to the extent this authority is empowered to identify heirs/relationships for the stated administrative purpose.

APPLICANT CONTACT

LEGAL BASIS

Punjab: No single Punjab statutory provision for a universal-purpose “heirship certificate” with one issuing office, fee, time limit and appeal route was confirmed from the sources used. The applicant must file with the authority legally prescribed for the stated purpose, such as the relevant revenue/departmental office. A disputed succession/title issue is not resolved merely by this administrative certificate.

Chandigarh: No single UT statutory provision for a universal-purpose heirship certificate with one issuing office, fee, time limit and appeal route was confirmed. For a Chandigarh sector/estate property, transmission is handled through the Estate Office file under the Capital of Punjab (Development and Regulation) Act, 1952 and Chandigarh Estate Rules, 2007 rather than a Punjab-style mutation process.

PERSONAL DATA NOTICE

This notice is given under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

The purpose of collecting personal data in this Heirship Certificate Application is to identify the deceased, applicant, heirs or nominees, establish the property/estate record and support the stated succession or transmission process.

If the matter does not proceed, the personal data will be retained for 90 days and then erased. If the matter proceeds, the record will be retained for the matter plus 12 months, except where a statute requires a longer named retention period.

Data minimisation: this document does not collect a full Aadhaar number, an Aadhaar-card copy, a password or bank credentials.

SIGNATURE

The rest stays out of view until every answer is in.

Reading costs nothing. Keeping a copy needs an account.

The opening of the draft is on this page as you answer it. Once every answer is in, the button below opens the whole draft, watermarked — still without an account. Printing it, or keeping a clean copy, is where an account is asked for. That is the whole arrangement.

A kept copy has to belong to somebody, and that is the reason for the account. There is nothing further to it.
