Legal heir certificate

In case of a sudden demise of a family member, a legal heir certificate must be obtained for transferring the assets of the deceased to his/her legal heirs. A legal heir certificate is a very important document to establish the relationship between the deceased and legal heirs. Once the death certificate is obtained from the municipality/corporation, it is required that the successors apply for this legal heir certificate to claim their right over the deceased person’s properties and dues. Usually, lawyers help draft and register a legal heir certificate.

The property is jointly vested with all the legal heirs. The proper option is to execute a partition or settlement deed executed and get the mutation carried out on that basis. Unless all other legal heirs relinquish their rights, title and interest through a duly registered relinquishment deed, your mother cannot be the holder of the entire propery. 

Please take a technical advice and entrust the case to an advocate to go about partitioning rather tha trying in vain to get a legal heir certificate

Hello Mr Gopal - I read your posts regarding issues with your property and really appreciate the questions you asked. I'm facing similar problems with my grandparents self acquired property and was wondering if you were able to resolve the legal matter.

Your case is complicated. The free advice that you get here is not reliable. You contact an experienced lawyer who specialises in succession matters, pay him and proceed.
