I live in Gurgaon. My parents lived in Chennai. My father and mother expired in 2005 and 2006 respectively. I have a sister who is settled in USA. My question pertains to Legal Heir certificate.
I need to get a legal heir certificate for various purpose such as closing a bank account held by my parents, get a locker vacated, and maybe sell an apartment which is in mine and my father's joint name. My parents did not leave any will.
Where should I apply for the legal heir considering that I have no residence proof in chennai except the joint ownership of the appt. I have never lived in chennai.
Also what other documents do you need to complete all the above. I have a General Power of Attorney from my sister.
Please somebody help.
