Legal heir certificate

If the claimant has filed a legal heir certificate wherein the relationship of the deceased is stated and if there are contradictions between the statement made in the petition and the evidence given, the Forum will go as per law. The most important thing is that whether the application is made under Class I or Class II heirship and the relationship shown beyond reasonable doubt.

The Legal Heir certificate issued by the revenue authorities will and should comprise the name of the surviving legal heirs, which include the parents of the deceased as well.

Thank You Shri Deepak & Vasudevan Sir.  I am having the doubt because heir means successor. Mother is not successor. Further,  mother's name is appearing in the legal heir certificate of father. Can a name appear in two different legal heir certificates ?  

'heir' means any person, male or female, who is entitled to succeed to the property of an intestate (dying without leaving a will), under the Hindu Succession Act. A personal (female) can be a heir to her husband as well as children.

V. Vasudevan is correct

Thanks to all for your valuable guidance.

As per  Hindu Succession Act, Class I legal heirs of male are; wife, children, mother, rest all others including father of the deceased come under class II category. your query  is that whether mother's name can appear in two legal heirship certificate ?, yes it can, she will be a wife in his father's certificate and mother in his certificate.

 Yes as per  Hindu Succession Act, she will be a wife in his father's certificate and mother in his certificate.
