Dear Sir,
Here is the situation. My father passed away this year Aug. He has a house in his name in Andhra pradesh. He has left behind my mother, my elder brother (married) and myself (married).
My parents stayed for around 2 years in that house (2007-2009) and then came & settled with me due to personal reasons in Bangalore Karnataka for the last 5 years or so. My parents have all their IDs like adhar etc created with Bangalore address. Now father fell ill and passed away in Bangalore and he did not have any WILL written.
My brother continue to stay in my father's house since 2009.
Now we would like sell the property. We were told we need to get family member certificate/Legal heir certificate.
Now here are the questions.
- My father was private employee retired from cooperative sector in Karnataka in 1991.
- Do we need Legal certificate or Family member certificate (as per AP govt website this is not legal heir certifiacte).
- We dont need to certificate to claim any benifits from Govt but we need it for the purpose of selling property.
- We were told MRO/Tehsildar will issue family member certifciate only for the Govt officeal if deceased.
- How do we proceed further? Which certificate needed for selling property and who would issue the same?
- Whether we should get the certificate from Andhar Pradesh where property is located or in Karnataka where my father lived last few years/died.
Please guide us.

Legal heir certificate is required to determine the legal heir of the deceased. You can approach local Tehsildar or consult local lawyer for procedure.
