In this scenario, where the documents are issued in Gujarat but the property is located in Maharashtra, the legal heir certificate should be obtained from the jurisdiction where the property is located, which is Maharashtra. Here's why: 1. *Property location*: The property is situated in Maharashtra, so the laws and regulations of Maharashtra will apply. 2. *Jurisdiction*: The court or authority in Maharashtra has the jurisdiction to issue a legal heir certificate for property located within its territory. 3. *Revenue records*: The revenue records and property documents are likely maintained by the Maharashtra government, making it the appropriate authority to issue the certificate. To obtain the legal heir certificate, you should approach the: 1. *Tahsildar* or *Mamlatdar* office in the district where the property is located. 2. *District Civil Court* in Maharashtra. 3. *Sub-Divisional Magistrate* (SDM) office in Maharashtra. Provide the necessary documents, such as: 1. Death certificate of the deceased property owner. 2. Proof of relationship (e.g., birth certificate, marriage certificate). 3. Identification proof (e.g., Aadhaar card, PAN card). 4. Property documents (e.g., title deed, sale deed). The authorities in Maharashtra will verify the documents and issue the legal heir certificate, which will be valid for the property located in Maharashtra.
