Legal Question in Family Law in India

My father left us around 10 yrs ago (because of disinterest in family life) and we don't have any clue where he is now and neither our relatives. We are not sure whether he is alive. I am hindu. Is there any legal formalities we need to complete to become legal heir for his properties?

You are automatically his heir and there is no step needed. However, you may have to file for Litigation in order to legally ensure that you can actually inherit his properties.
