Punjab Letters of Administration and Succession Certificates Act 2021
This Act establishes an expedited mechanism for the issuance of Letters of Administration and Succession Certificates through the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) to curtail fraud and forgery. It mandates the creation of Succession Facilitation Units to process applications, verify legal heirship through biometric identification, and maintain public records for these certificates. The legislation grants the Authority primary jurisdiction over these matters, superseding existing laws and providing a standardized procedure for legal heirs to claim assets.
