I want to know what are the reasons for getting this certificate. How secure I can get the certificate to avoid the future conflicts. Please let me know the details for the legal hiership certificate.

  83. My father died in 1975. We obtained a legal heirship certificate in 1991, which gives the names of his wife and surviving children. The purpose is stated as “transfer of property”.
    Now as the Pay and Accounts Officer of the Department of Technology Government of India to whom my mother applied for inclusion of her daughter’s name for family pension after her has asked her to “(1) obtain a recently issued legal heirship certificate (2) the purpose should be stated therein should be “for obtaining family pension”.
    Is it possible now, nearly 40 years after the death of my father, to get a legal heirship certificate a fresh “for the purpose of family pension”? One of the legal heirs has since died. Will it be necessary to produce a death certificate? Or would my mother’s affidavit be enough?

  84. I have lost the original a copy of Heir certificate. I wish to apply for the duplicate one. Please let me know how to apply through online keeping the copy of earlier one,when I visited to sub register office, they inform I need to follow the basic rules which I did to get the certificate initially. Is there any option to get the heir certificate through online?

  85. My mother executed a will in my favor regarding an immovable property. It was executed with oral consent of my two elder sisters who signed witnesses to the said will. My mother expired in the year 1996. Since I want to sell the property I applied for legal heir certificate in March 2014 in the format obtained from Thasildar. As required by the VAO of my village I got the names of 10 persons in my neighborhood with their signatures and addresses on the back of the application. After sometime the VAO returned the application with written remarks “As more than 18 years have elapsed since the death of the person the it is quite complicated to verify the heirship. Hence the applicant can apply through Court of Justice for legal heir certificate.” Is there any rule barring me from getting legal heir certificate for Local Revenue Authorities since I applied belatedly after 19 years from the death of my mother. Please clarify with relevance of Rules prevailing in Tamilnadu.

  99. Radhakrishnan subramanian

    We are residing and working in Mumbai. Our father having a property in Tambaram taluk . We try to acquire the legal heir certificate at Thane. But the Thasildar refused to give the legal heir certificate at Thane and advised me to get it from Tamilnadu. Since we are not having a residence at Chennai the revenue official refused and asked me to give a proof of address in their jurisdiction. Where shall I get the legal heir certificate? If it is delayed it will be occupied by the Anti-social elements.
    I trust that this is the right of the citizen of India and issuing the certificate also the duty of the Executive Magistrate. In such a condition the Thasildar cum Executive Magistrate can rely upon the oral evidence duly filed as a affidavit by the person as well as by the witness is it not?

  100. My grand mother died last year. She had 1 son(MY Father) and 2 daughters.

      Is it compulsory to include all the legal heirs of deceased (example : deceased wife/husband name, deceased mother and father name, deceased son’s name and deceased daughter’s name). If so, do we need to get signature from all of them(those who are alive) for the applicant to be legal heir?

      And to change the property from the deceased to Single particular heir (here deceased son), other legal heirs approval is needed?

    5. Who are the legal heirs?
