Legal Heirship Certificate

Civil court can only issue the legal heir certificate, to get you have to file a suit for declaration. If you want to obtain survivor certificate then u can apply to the TAhasildar of the concerned taluk, he will issue the survivor certificate on the basis of the inquiry report of REvenue inspector.

A Legal Heirship Certificate is issued by a tahsildar. But a tahsildar has no right to decide on disputed issues of title or succession. Prior to the issuance of the Legal Heirship Certificate, a summary enquiry is undertaken by the tahsildar, through his or her functionaries, to ascertain the legal heirs of the deceased, so far as may be possible.
