Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in India

Re: How to determine the legal heirs of the person who died intestate?

Before an opinion on the legal heirs of the deceased who died intestate can be given, it is important to know the religion of the deceased. For Hindus, the legal heirs could be found in Hindu Succession Act and for others, it is Indian Succession Act.

Please state the religion of the deceased person, so that a cogent advice can be given

Re: How to determine the legal heirs of the person who died intestate?

I feel that more info is necessary to answer the question. Please answer these two questions :-

(1) What exactly is the purpsoe of proving that somebody is the legal heir? (eg:- dispute between heirs / withdraw bank deposits / transfer shares? etc)

(2) What is the religion of the concerned person?

I understand that deceased had no children. Was his father/mother living? Other brothers/sisters?
