As there is no Will of that deceased person, for the succession of the movable assets of the deceased person, his legal heirs and heiresses have to apply before the Competent Court of Law for Succession Certificate.
To prove inheritance in respect of the self acquired immovable property of the deceased,his seven legal heirs and heiresses have to apply for Legal Heir Certificate,on the basis of which they can mutate their names in the Record of Rights in place and stead of the deceased person,each having undivided one-seventh share therein.
The Hindu Succession Act, 1956 lays down a uniform and comprehensive system of inheritance and succession. It is applicable to Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Sikhs. According to that, you all have equal right in his property and shall get equal share.

Since he died intestate, the property will devolve according to Hindu succession act,1956 if he belongs to Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, or Sikh religion. According to the said statute, each one of you has equal right in his property. The property will devolve equally among 4 sons,2 daughters and his wife.
