Hi
My father has bought a property in Thirumullaivoil, Chennai. He has passed away 13 years back and has death certificate from Trivandrum medical college.
This land had ceiling and goverment has asked us to pay the amount. The poonamale office has asked us to produce legal heir certifcate.
Is it possible to get legal heir certificate for a person whose death has happened in Trivandrum and propery in Chennai?
Which VAO office should i approach. In chennai or trivandrum?
Thanks
Dilip

The legal heirship certificate is issued by the Revenue Authorities based on the Family Card (ration card), Voter ID, etc., after due enquiry by VAO and revenue inspectors. If you have all these documents at Chennai, you can apply for LHC over here. property location is immaterial for such cases.

It is succession certificate that you need to obtain for transfer of property to your name. Only Civil Courts are competent to issue succession certificate. You need to file a suit for issue of succession certificate for the particular property.

I agree with B.K.R. the certificate issued by the revenue officer is survivors certificate not legal heir/succession certificate.

Give an application with all the documental proofs to the Village officer ,where your father last resided.

Giving an application with all the documentary proofs to the village officer does not work as only the succession certificate issued by competent court i.e. civil court would be required.
