I am one of the legal heir out of five sons my father had at the time of his death in 1996 in Mumbai. Since than two brothers are expired and remaining two have defrauded other legal heir of huge amount of money as they were and even now opertating two joint accounts in the name of my father.
They are not moving ahead with the application filed in High Court for letter of administration in 2009 due to the frauds and to pressurise the other legal heirs or their families. We are therefore stuck as bank of india- stock exchange branch is not giving the statements of accounts and asking for legal heir certificate or a court order.
Pl. help and advice how to get Legal heir certificate to solve the problem ?
