Legal Heir or Succession Certificate
3 years ago
Hello,
We live in Mumbai and my dad was an employee of a pvt ltd company, and was retired for before 6 years from his death (24/12/19). Now when I am trying to move the property over my, my mother and my sister's name they are asking for a legal heir or succession certificate.
My father owned a flat in Mumbai and some ancestral land in Karnataka.
And I approached to the local Tehsil office for the same, they said that Tehsil gives these certificates only for government employees and for private employees they suggested to go to civil court.
So, my question is first of all that my dad owned properties in 2 different states but was a resident of Maharashtra, so these certificate has to be issued bu which state?
And then what will be the procedure and cost for it?
I will be really grateful if somebody replies for the same and I am really confused about this.
The beneficiary/ legal heir is required to approach a competent court and file a petition for a succession certificate.

The beneficiary/ legal heir is required to approach a competent court and file a petition for a succession certificate. Along with the petition, death certificate and any other important documents that the court may require should also be attached.
