Hi,
I want to know what is the legal validity of a foreign Legal Heirship certificate in India. My father passed away in the UAE and since we are Muslims, we obtained a legal heirship certificate from the court in Dubai. He is an Indian citizen and obviously has property in India. Can the legal heirs use the foreign Legal Heirship certificate for transferring his property to their names? If yes, what is the procedure?
Regards,
Amos.

@ Author,
1. It is not valid Certificate.
2. Indian Consulates register the births and deaths of Indian citizens occurring outside India, as per the provisions made in the Citizens Rules 1956, under the Citizenship Act 1955, and issue birth and death certificates. The certificate issued by the Indian Consulates is valid and holds good for all purposes.
Contact Indian Conulate Generals Office in Dubai.
