Legal heir certificate can be issued when you properly submit all the documents along with the application to the panchayat or local councilor. Try to get that done otherwise you won't be able to get it.

A.Dear Client,

The process of obtaining a legal heir certificate is stated below:

1. The legitimate heir of the deceased person must approach the district court in the respective area and ask for the legal heir certificate application. The applicant must fill out the application and submit the signed application to the concerned authority. This application contains the names of all the legal heirs, their relationship with the deceased, and the family members’ addresses.
2. All the required documents, including the departed person’s death certificate, should be attached to the application. (Death certificate must be obtained from the municipality/corporation office).
3. An affidavit on stamp paper or self-declaration must be submitted along with the application.
4. The revenue inspector/administrative officer conducts an inspection and completes the enquiry.

Once the enquiry is completed successfully, the authorized officer issues the Legal heir certificate.
The process of obtaining a legal heir certificate generally takes 30 days. If there is an unnecessary delay in receiving this certificate or the concerned authorities fail to respond, you should approach the Revenue Division Officer (RDO)/sub-collector.
