Ancestral Property but title changed

Dear Client,
While a succession certificate is generally required for transfer of movable assets such as, Bank savings, Fixed deposits, Shares, Provident funds etc, a legal heir certificate is usually required for transfer of immovable properties that left intestate by the deceased owner. A legal heir certificate establishes the relationship between the deceased person and his/her legal heirs. Legal heirs of a deceased person are spouse, children and parents. A legal heir certificate can be obtained after the death certificate is obtained from the municipality/ corporation to claim their right over the deceased person’s properties. Two common documents are required for processing and issuing a Legal Heir Certificate(Haisiyat praman patra) of a deceased person, one is a death certificate of the deceased person and an affidavit sworn by any one of the family member declaring therein the details of all surviving legal heirs or family members of the deceased apart from other routine documents certifying the identities of the legal heirs. A legal heir certificate is issued by the concerned Municipal Authority or Tehashildar under whose jurisdiction the deceased or surviving legal heirs permanently reside.
