Yes. You have to approach Tahsildar concerned for a Family Member/Legal heir certificate which will be issued in a few days. You can submit the application online also. A succession certificate can be obtained from the Court and it will take some more time.

Dear Sir's,
I appreciate you taking the time to respond to my queries.
What i gather from you all is that; succession certificate requires the action of the courts due process. I clealy understand this.
What i am still confused about, is the legal heir. Even in your responses you tend to club Family membership with Legal heir. While they both are different certificates, am i safe to assume so, cause this is what i've been told? I am aware that FMC is available online, but i did not come across legal heir online -- would appreciate if you'd be so kind to share a link.
Thank you gentlemen, once again.
Best.
Prem.

Surviving Member of the deceased, which you have termed as "family" has to be certified by area Tehisildar / SDM.
Succession certificate will he issued by District Civil Court for the properties left behind by deceased, as per personal law applicable in the case (Hindu/ Muslim/ Christian etc.)
You have to consult and engage a local prudent lawyer for professional advise and necessary proceeding.

Let me first clarify. Family member certificate or legal heir certificate is the same. These are issued by the Tahsildar only if the deceased was a Govt employee and not to others. You may have to apply for a succession certificate to the District court. The court fee depends on the state where the property is situated. Generally, it is around 3 to 5% of the market value of the properties involved. In addition, you have to pay Advocate fees and other incidental charges.
