Being a Non-Resident Indian (NRI), handling the inheritance issues in India can be quite difficult, especially when there is no will. It is where a Succession Certificate comes into play. It helps NRIs to legally handle and claim the assets of a deceased relative in India.

However, most NRIs face difficulties in handling this process legally across international borders. For this, they need to understand the specific requirements, prepare the necessary documents, and coordinate with Indian courts while living overseas.
