As per your query, your father is alive so a legal heir certificate cannot be issued.
T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 01 March 2024
Legal heirship certificate can be given only to the legal heirs of the deceased person.
Your case is that your father is alive, he has two wives living, both the wives are having children out of their wedlock. Besides there is no provision to furnish legal heirship certificate under the above circumstances under Muslim personal law.
P. Venu (Expert) 01 March 2024
In the strict legal sense, there is no power vested with the Tahsildar to issue legal heir certificate.

However, you are yet to clarify whether your father is alive. Under Muslim law, inheritance opens up only after the lifetime the person concerned.
