The Sindh government decided on Wednesday to enact the Letters of Administration and Succession Certificates Bill, 2020, to make it easier for citizens to get succession certificates and letters of administration.
Currently, succession certificates, that allow legal heirs to establish ownership of movable assets, and letters of administration, which authorise an administrator to take control of and dispose of the estate of a deceased person, are issued by the court. Following the enactment of the bill, citizens will be able to obtain the documents directly from the National Database and Registration Authority.
