At Harinder Singh Advocate, we assist clients in obtaining Legal Heir Certificates to establish rightful succession and inheritance of property, assets, and other entitlements after the death of a family member. A Legal Heir Certificate is an official document issued by the competent authority (generally the Tehsildar, Municipal Authority, or Revenue Department) that identifies the surviving legal heirs of a deceased person. It is essential for claiming ownership of assets, transferring property, or receiving benefits such as pensions, insurance, or employment dues.
Importance of a Legal Heir Certificate
A Legal Heir Certificate is required for:
Transfer of immovable property and mutation of records.
Claiming insurance, pension, gratuity, or provident fund benefits.
Settling bank accounts, loans, or investments of the deceased.
Establishing legal heirship in succession disputes.
Claiming employment benefits or service-related dues of a deceased government/private employee.
