Legal Heirs Certificate Legal Heirs Certificate

My late mother in law's pending pension amount prior to her death has to be received back from Odisha. She has no other property. In this connection, we want her legal heir certificate and we all are staying in Delhi and my mother in law too was staying with us since 10 years. My mother in law has no house in Odisha. What is the procedure to secure her Legal Heirs Certificate. Can it be applied from Delhi itself through online also. Kindly advise in this matter

A.Hi,
You have not disclosed the permanent residence of your In-Law and also not disclosed why her pension account is lying in Odisha. After her death wherever maybe you have to collect the Death certificate first and you can apply before the competent authority where she actually lived prior to living with your family in Delhi.

If she was living within the jurisdiction of Municipal area, then the Municipality chairman is the authority to issue legal heir's certificate. If she was living within the jurisdiction fo Gram Panchayat, then the Panchayat Pradhan is the authority to issue the certificate.
