Any one can apply for legal heir certificate mentioning facts before Tehasildar.

They will send a Revenue official for personal verification.

Your uncle's consent is not required.

But, as a legal heir you have to mention his name, and officials should check with him.

Hi Rajesh,

Now a days Tehasildar's have no power to issues Legal heir issue certificate.You have to file a petition in a court for issuing legal heir certificate.You need to file it based on the jurisdiction of the court under which your area comes.You just consult any advocate there in your area.He will guide you to get legal heir certificate.Hope your doubt is cleared.

I am afraid that there was a confusion in guiding Succession certificate and Legal heir certificate.

If the property is your grandfather's own earned own,obviously,he will have full right's on that property to write the will to any one.If he didn't write any will about that property,as sucessor's your father and your uncle will become owners of that property as a natural legal heirs.If they distribute that property among themselves,you will become legal heir of your father and you will get that share.But it seems like there is no such partition took place and moreover your father was also passed away.So, now as a legal heir of your father you can claim for that partition and get your share.For that purpose inititally you need to get legal heir certificate,Then you can file a petition for partition of your grandfather's property to be shared with your uncle.
