Learned Lawyers,
I would appreciate if you could clarify the below:
1. What is the difference between Legal Heir certificate and Succession Certificate?
2. My father died about 15 years back with some property in Chennai. Legal heirs are my mother, my sister and I. My mother and I live in Mumbai while my sister live in Chennai.. My father had left a will for this property, but not registered and the witnesses are also deceased. My queries are as follows:
a. In order to transfer this property to one of the legal heirs as per the will, which of the above certificate is needed?
b. Who are the authorities who can issue this certificate? Should it be from Mumbai (as my place of residence) or Chennai (place of location of property)
c. If it can be obtained from authorities from Mumbai, what would be their requirements for my sister who is Chennai resident.?
d. What is the procedure, cost and duration for obtaining this certificate?
I would very much be appreciate if any of you could clarify the above.
Regards,
