Q: "I would like to obtain the inheritance certificate to withdraw my uncle's estate. He has a savings account with a bank in Shanghai. Only my aunt (his wife) can fly with me to Shanghai to visit the notary office for the certificate of inheritance. My uncle's child is unable to make the trip.

What documents are needed to obtain an inheritance certificate?"

A: To obtain the notarized Certificate of Inheritance, you will need to submit a complete set of foreign inheritance documents. These must be submitted to a notarization authority qualified to handle foreign-related cases, such as the Shanghai Dongfang Notary Public Office.
