Legal heir certificate can be obtained from the Tehasildar's office. For this, one has to submit a proper application indicating the names of legal heirs, their age, relationship to the deceased (like wife, son, daughter, mother etc.). Along with the application for legal heir certificate the death certificate is also to be enclosed.
Normally, legal heir certificate is essential only for the purposes of immovable properties.
As regards movable properties (LIC insurance money comes in this category)
one needs to get a succession certificate. This is also similar to the legal heir certificate. But the same will be granted by the civil court. For this, you have to approach a local lawyer. A court fee is required to be paid - this will be a fixed percentage on the amount receivable.

What sort of question that you ask: "Whether we can approach any local lawyer". Instead of approaching a local lawyer will you approach a lawyer at Supreme Court?
