Hidden heirs of a property

X bought 5 acres of land - Hindu, AP State.
X died without leaving any will in 2007.
As per HSA, 3 class-1 heirs inherited this property (X's wife, 1 major unmarried son, 1 major unmarried daughter).

I am planning to buy the entire 5 acres property via sale deed including all the above mentioned 3 heirs as "executants".

I dont want any shocks in future where other than the above 3 heirs starts claiming their shares in the property (Hidden heirs)
Example: X's mother may be alive, another son / daughter of X may be alive, etc who also can claim their share in X property.

So before proceeding with the buying of this property, I need a legal document which CONFIRMS that X has only 3 heirs (wife, 1 son, 1 daughter) as mentioned above.
What Legal Document CONFIRMS me that ?
(1) Legal heir certificate issued by COURT (MRO is no more issuing this in A.P)
(2) Succession certificate for Immovable property issued by COURT
(3) File a declaration suit for legal heirs and get court order

Which one is the BEST document which confirms the legal heirs of X ?

Thanks,
Suresh
