What do we need to mention in the legalheir certificate?

My father expired suddenly in the year 2010 due to Chronic Renal Failure Intestate.

My father had earned all the properties on his own. He has 2 properties. Everything in Father's name only. We want to sell one property now. For that I think we need a Legal heir certificate..

In my family

1. Mother - Widow,
2. Myself- married,
3. Younger Brother - married
4. elder sister - married

Can I get a Legal certificate for all purpose submission whether it be bank, EB Connections, Property Tax, Water Tax, Telephone Connection, Property Transfer / sale purpose.

In this case What should i need to mention in the legal heir certificate form? : PURPOSE FOR WHICH THE LEGAL HEIR CERTIFICATE IS REQUIRED:

I enquired a local advocate here in chennai. he said that we need to mention as REVENUE RECORDS NAME TRANSFER, BANK DEPOSITS ETC.

Also he said If we mention like EB Connection, Telephone Bill etc... , The Legal Heir Certificate wont be considered / invalid in the registration office while we sell the property.

Am totally confused what I need to mention ( I mean the Correct Technical word) in the Form as it should be used for all.

Pls Advise

Mr. Gokul,

The procedure is very simple, write an application addressing to the Tahsildar of your area stating that your father expired on so and so date, the death certificate attached, request him to issue a legal heirship certificate for the purposes of Transfer of revenue records, EB connections, Gas connections, Water Tap connections, bank deposits and all of them which you intend to include in the application. Please do not forget to mention the names of all legal heirs of your father which includes his mother, wife and children. In normal course of time, it may take 15 days to get the certificate. The necessary fee for the purpose will be informed to you over the counter in the Taluk Office.
