Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in India

What is the difference between a Legal Heirship Certificate and Succession Certificate?

My father died intesate. He had three immoveable properties in his name at the time of his death: a DDA flat in Delhi (sole owner), a flat in Hyderabad (joint owner with my mother), and two plots of freehold land in Sriperumbudur (sole owner). Subsequent to his death, the flat is in the name of mother by virtue of a relinquishment deed given by her sons in her favour. The four legal heirs now want to divide the properties equally amongst ourselves by mutual consent, i.e., the flat in Delhi to go to the youngest son and mother, the flat in Hyderabad to the second son, and the two plots of land in Sriperumbudur to the first son. Do we need a Succession Certificate for the same? If so, what is the procedure to obtain a Succession Certificate?
