A succession certificate is a legal document issued by a District Court under the Indian Succession Act, 1925 that gives legal heirs the right to collect movable assets (such as bank balances, shares, mutual funds, and insurance payouts) left behind by a person who died without a will

Please clarify three things: (1) Was your brother an Indian resident or an NRI at the time of his death? (2) Did he leave a Will? (3) Are these US company shares held in an E*TRADE brokerage account? Based on these details, the appropriate legal procedure and documentation can be identified.
