Re: legal heir certificate

Hello.

You may obtain the Death Certificate from your Municipal Corporation Office.

Then, approach the City Survey Office alongwith the application and death certificate. The Office will enter the name of your mother and you in the Revenue Records.

Approach to the Bank and follow the same procedure with the application.

Re: legal heir certificate

Sorry for your loss.

You are also one of the legal heirs alongwith your mother. Therefore, the house may be transferred jointly in favour of both of you.

You may need to apply for a Succession Certificate by filing appropriate petition in the local civil court. It may be better to engage a local counsel for pursuing your remedy.
