Obtaining status as a legal heir

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 25 September 2010 This query is : Resolved
We were five brother at the time of death of our father in 1996, who was a member of BSE and actively doing share broking business. Since then 2 brother are expired.

Due to ulterior motives other two living brother who were assisting father under POA are not co operating in obtaining a letter of administration due to frauds committed by them running in to several crores and not giving proper accounts of father's business.

Under these circumstances pl. advice how, I can get my self declared as a legal heir so that I can ask with authority BSE and banks about the fathers accounts as they question my legal status whenever I tried to ask for the details ?

You can file a suit for declaration as legal heir and get a decree in A suit in regular civil Court ,you have to implead all your brothers/ since died per lrs , sisters and mother and sons of predeceased sons - as legal heirs of your father - Even you can implead the banks and other institutes who are questioning your status as legal heir, to disclose the particulars of assets of your father. You have to Implead the District Collector as party representing the State and lastly another-as Whomsoever for paper publication calling objections.

You have stated that the brothers are not cooperating in obtaining a letter of administration. Have you filed a case for letters of administration? If yes, you will have to go through the procedures involved in the said case and get an order through the court. After that you can approach BSE with the said court order.
