The Certificate of Heirship is a crucial document in Singapore's legal framework for estate administration. It is primarily used when there is a need to formally establish who the legal heirs are, particularly in cases of intestate succession or when dealing with financial institutions, property transfers, or foreign jurisdictions. The certificate includes detailed information about the deceased, their family structure, and the legal heirs' relationships and rights. It must be prepared in accordance with Singapore law, including the Intestate Succession Act and, where applicable, the Administration of Muslim Law Act.
