Hi,
I would like to get clarification on the following issue.
My deceased grandfather has a deceased son (my uncle) and another son (my father) who is alive. My grandmother is also alive. My uncle expired before my grandfather. My grandfather wrote a registered will before he expired stating how the properties needs to be distributed.
After my grandfather's death, my grandmother and father had applied for a legal hier (or succession certificate) from the local authorities. The certificate mentioned my grandmother's and my father's name alone in the certificate (wherein it should have mentioned my uncle's name as well). Now the sons of my Uncle are disputing on the certificate and filed a case (as per the police, this is under section 420) and called for a court hearing.
Please advice what is the implication of procuring a legal hier certificate which missed the name of my Uncle? How do we get rid of the situation?
Regards,
Vijay
