if all the successors of the dead person are in good terms, you can file an O.P(succ)in the Munsiff's court or Sub court according to pecuniary limit. There need not be any respondents in the party array, in such situation. If the successors are in hostile terms, array them as petitioners and respondents. A gazette publication or publication in a vernacular daily will be necessary. You have to adduce evidence to prove that your parties are the L.R's of the deceased. Above all there should be certain amount due to the deceased from some where. In its absence you will not be able move for a Succession Certificate.
