Dear Jayaramesh,

As per me and my knowledge, in andhra Pradesh, specially at Hyderabad, Mandal  Revenue Offices are not providing Legal Heir/Family Member Certificates.  Simply they are asking to approach to Civil Court for the said Certifcate.

Therefore,  (i)  first approach to the Concerned MRO either where the Property is situated or the concernd MRO of your native Mandal  and then (ii) to your Lawyer, if court proceedings necessary for issuance of  Legal Heir/Family MemberCertificate.

Dear Jayaramesh ji,

You can get legal heir certificate from Tahsildar office.

If your father written a WILL you have to get legal heir certificate from the Court.

 Dear Jayaramesh,

you can approach your concerned Municipal Councilor or Sarpanch and can obtain pedigree chart of your family attested from him and attach a legal opinion with that and then submit it to the MRO

it may work but they (MRO Officials) may ask for indemnity bond also

try it 

best of luck

The tahsildar MRO will issue legal heir Certificate after thorough inquiry. For succession you have to approach Civil Court.

Legal heir certificate declares who are the legal heirs of the deceased eg names of spouse, sons, daughters, brothers, sister etc as per Indian Succession Act and in Gujarat it is issued by Mamlatdars [based on report from village officer, who usually prepares a Panchanama and base it on locan enquiries]. Succession certificate is issued by competent Courts at District level. Legal heir certificate does not include property details. It states only legal heirs. In succession certificate Court includes property as well as names of the persons who are entitled to such properties or part thereof.

1] for legal heir certicicate you to file application in civil court.

2]it will take 8 to 12 months time.

3] in my opinion tahsildar or any revenue officer have no right to issue legal heir cetificate.

Hi All,

I have a similar situation..!

Background to my questions:

My name is Santosh and we have a house at Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. My father has expired in December,1997 and the property is still on my father's name. Currently my Mother and Sister are staying at Visakhapatnam and I am working in an MNC at Hyderabad.

We are planning to demolish the exiting house and constuct a new one. I draw an annual salary of 5,50,000 PA and would like to apply for loan.

Problem:

1) As the property is on my father's name, the bulider is asking us to get a possession certificate for Plan/Loan approvals etc;
2) And some of our close relatives advised to get a Legal Heir which can help solve all problems pertaining to the property on my Father's name;

Please advise which one of the above can help us from all problems, the process to get them.

Thank you,
Santosh.
