Time:
A newspaper notice for 45 days is issued by the court. Any person having problem with it can file objections. If the court doesn’t receive any objection, it issues succession certificate. This process takes five to seven months.

Cost involved:
As per my knowledge, apart from lawyer’s fees, Two per centum on the amount or value of any debt or security specified in the certificate under section 8 of the Succession Certificate Act, and three per centum on the amount or value of any debt or security to which the certificate is extended under section 10 of the Act.
