Sir
My father got expired in feb 2022 he got agriculture land on his name. We are one brother and two sister. We had applied to transfer the land on all three of us name as mother expired along ago with all the necessary documents
The property is in Rajasthan i live in Mumbai sisters are in delhi the Tahsildar of Rajasthan said I will write a letter to rahilsdar mumbai after all enquiry will transfer the land to ur name. Now the tahilsadar of Mumbai is asking for succession letter.
Succession letter is compulsory?
What is the alternative and other ways to get property on our name because succession is long process and expensive

The succession certificate shall be obtained from the court of law.

Succession certificate is issued by authority to a person for the purpse to collect deceased securities and debt ( movable ) due to him and not for immovable properties .Tahsildar can't ask succession certificate of deceased but can enquire about legal heirs of deceased and ask for heirship certificate.

Legal heir certificate will be issued by the Tahsildar and the succession certificate/letter shall be obtained from a court of law.

With the demise of the father, the property has devolved upon the legal heirs i.e. you and the sisters. The local Tahsildar is to carry out the mutation in revenue records after conducting local enquiry. The Tahsildar (or the Mamledar) in Mumbai has no jurisdiction over the matter.

The Tahsildar at Rajasthan has no business to refer the matter to Mumbai Tahsildar.
The property is located at Rajasthan.
If your father is reported to have died at Rajasthan then the jurisdictional tahsildar himself can issue the legal heir ship certificate after proper enquiry.
You are either no coming with proper details or trying to pass your time in the name of an irrelevant question. The Tehsildar is not the final authority, if he refuses to furnish the legal heirship certificate then you can always prefer an appeal before the district collector and get your grievances redressed.
What is the reason that you were made to approach Mumbai tehsildar?
You can come out with the details so that you can get proper opinion

Yes. The Tahsildar at Rajasthan shall give a legal heir certificate and if he does not give it, you may approach the District Collector concerned.
