A.Dear Gutte Ji,
First step , you have the legal heir certificate from the competent authority of the Government and then proceed. While having the legal heir certificate please ask them to prepare the
genealogy which they will do I suppose in any case which is most important.
Now, you are legally entitle to ask for share.
