Can I obtain a legal heir certificate in Tamil Nadu?
Can a legal heir certificate be obtained in Tamil Nadu, which is my native place and where my father's final rites were conducted? We live in Bangalore, but my father passed away here. We have property in both Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. What can I do?
The legal heir certificate can be obtained in Tamil Nadu in the local sub register office by providing the required documents such as death certificate of the father, address proof of place of residence in Tamil Nadu, relationship proof such as birth certificate. The issuance of the certificate takes place in 45 days. If the property is both the States, then the issuance of legal certificate has to be done in both place under the Indian Succession Act 1925.
Yes, you may apply for the legal heir certificate in Tamil Nadu though you are residing in Bangalore now. Now your father is dead and his last rite was conducted in Tamil Nadu, so you properly apply for getting the certificate from there. You will have to approach the local revenue office or the Tahsildar in Tamil Nadu where the rites were held. Ensure that you have documents like the father's death certificate, proof of relationship like your birth certificate, and any property-related documents. It will also come in handy if you are able to locate a local lawyer who can guide you in the process.
Sir, you can apply for the Legal Heir Certificate either in Tamil Nadu or Karnataka (where the death occurred or where you reside). The process involves submitting relevant documents to the local Tahsildar’s office, followed by a verification process before the certificate is issued. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you to navigate the complexities of this procedure. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
