Dear Sir,

The online process of transfer can be done easily if the shares are already in Demat account and if the shares are in physical form you can apply for its conversion in Demat form. For acquiring succession, you have to give Copy of Death certificate, Legal Heir or succession certificate, Transmission Request Form. In case of physical holding of shares, original share certificate  and in case of Demat account deed of indemnity is required. To apply for probate application you have to provide Death Certificate, original will and codicils and their copy as well and correct Inheritance tax form. For obtaining successor certificate, you need to file petition before district judge under whose jurisdiction your mother used to reside.

Thank You.
