Transfer to heirs where no nomination
Summary
If there is no nomination or no nominee comes forward, the Society invites claims/objections within 6 months by notice on the board and in 2 newspapers (cost recovered from the deceased's share). After inquiry the Committee decides the heir, who gives an indemnity bond. If claimants disagree, a succession certificate from court is required. If no claimant, the interest vests in the Society.
