Getting heir certificate

My Father died intestate and left properties in Mumbai and in our Native place also. It is decided that the Property in Mumbai will be shared between the Brothers and the Properties in Native place will be shared between the Sisters. I want to go for a Heir Certificate in respect of my Property. What is the procedure i should follow. Where shall i register the Partition Deed? How will i get my Heir Certificate? What are the Documents required for the Heir Certificate?

Prescribed application form by affixing a courtfee stamp.

The purpose for which the certificate is applied for should be mentioned in the application.

Mr. Ashokan Achuthan,

Since your father has passed away intestate, you will have to approach the Court.

But first since you already have arrived at a family arrangement of partition of your father's property, I suggest you put it down on paper i.e. document the arrangement. Take the help of an advocate to prepare your case to file for the heirship certificate and to confirm the family arrangement. Register the arrangement too.

You will require the proper documents as stated by Advocate Rohit along with your PAN cards.
