Hello,
My father expired last month (October 27, 2014) . We are from Chennai. He was a retired employee of a public sector bank and was receiving pension. I need to transfer BSNL landline connection, which is in my father's name, to my name. We need to transfer all other things to my mother's name (Gas connection, house property etc.). Do we need legal heirship certificate for that? Whether a single legal heirship certificate is enough or we need to get legal heirship certificate for each purpose separately?
For pension transfer, bank deposits, insurance and MFs, he has nominated my mother's name. So, I guess legal heirship certificate is not needed in that cases. The legal heirs of my father are his wife (my mother), son (myself) and a married daughter (my sister).
Please enlighten on these issues.
