Subject : Legal heir certificate
Message : We have a house plot in the name of my deceased mother. We are four siblings.. two elder sisters, myself and my younger brother. One of my sisters also expired in 2021. She has one son and one daughter. My brother-in-law is alive. In the legal heir certificate issued by the court the name of the son-in-law of the deceased (I.e name of my brother-in-law) is also included along with other three names. Please clarify whether this document is valid and sufficient for registration of property in the name of a purchaser

Thank you for the advice, Sir.

Your deceased sister's legal heirs are considered as successor in interest to succeed to the estates left behind by your deceased mother in the capacity of legal heirs of your deceased sister who is herself a legal heir (died) to your deceased mother.
Hence the legal heirship certificate issue including them is perfectly right and correct as per law.

Legal heir certificate is issued by area Tehsildar / SDM and not by a Court after verification of the facts/ documents submitted by applicant(s), please recheck.
