A.Dear client You need to be obtain the Legal Heir certificate or succession certificate as required by the postal Authorities from the competent court of jurisdiction. even you did not mentioned of any other surviving heir of your grandfather. If there is then you should not apply on the self earned asset of your grandfather. Instead you should apply for Succession Certificate, give equal rights for others to come forward and make their claim.

A.You are mistaken ( and successfully confused several lawyers her too )about letter of administration, there will be no such thing in your case, neither an administrator. All you need is a succession certificate. but for claiming small amounts you may be required to execute a bond and an affidavit, it is so provided because if the amount you may have to spend on getting succession certificate exceeds the amount that you seek to recover.
