Some Important Information From Comments

1. My grandmother has expired 8 years ago and now we have applied for a legal heir certificate. There are 5 members who are legal heirs of my grandmother. So is that enough, if my father is alone applying for the heir certificate on behalf of his siblings with all their attested address proof? (or) everyone should fill the form individually with their attached address proof?
2. My grandfather has purchased a property in Chennai suburbs. He has died without leaving any will in 1981. Subsequently, my father has also died in 1987. The property has to be transferred to the legal heirs. We are native of Chennai but, live in other states due to our job and profession. Some of us are having our own house at Chennai. Kindly let me know, where should we apply for Legal Heir Certificate. Is it possible to obtain Legal Heir Certificate from other than Tamil Nadu?
3. My mother passed away in December and my father expired before 30 years. We got death certificates for both. I have one brother and sister. My brother is not speaking with us including my mother when she was with us for some reasons. My brother came to the funeral and went. Even now, he is not speaking with myself and my sister. He is not ready to sign in the varisu certificate. Please help me in this. How to get the same?
4. My Father died on September month. My grandfather is live now. Due to some family problems we are not talking with him and he also will not talk with us. Now we are trying to get Varisu certificate. Whether it is possible to get a Varisu certificate without our grandfather signature? Please tell me.

I am the only daughter of my mother. My mother just expired and I have her death certificate. But my mother and father (late) were not together since last 20 yrs. We didn’t have his death certificate as he was with his first wife(4 children). What can be done in this to get the legal hier certificate?
Very simple. If you know the date of death of your father you may get a copy of death certificate from the website. Along with the death certificate of your father you may apply for LHC.
One of my friend has settled in abroad and his brother is living in Chennai. If something happens to his brother how can he get legal heir certificate in India since his brother is not married?
If his brother is a bachelor and having property, ask him to settle the property in favour of his brother. The person settling the said property shall retain life interest only in the said property. If no such document is registered, it would be difficult to get a succession certificate from the competent court and the expense would go to about one lakh.

You must submit your application to the Tahsildar in whose jurisdiction you are living.

There is no cardial relationship between legal heirs. The taluk authority expects all legal heirs should present physically before him. The copies of documents – death & legal heirs certificates of the deceased legal heirs are not verified by this authority. They do not want to consider them. There may be around thirty persons in the legal heirship list. This authority informed to seek legal remedy which is expensive and time delay procedure. How can I compel this authority to do field verification in the deceased parent place to verify the genuineness of my records?
You make a complaint to the RDO or the District Collector regarding the stand taken by the Tahsildar.

No problem. You must submit your application to the Tahsildar who is having jurisdiction to your address. You must submit a copy of your husband’s death certificate, together with copies of documents for which purpose the LHC is required.
The LHC is issued by the Tahsildars purely on the outcome of the local inquiry. There is no need for a Marriage certificate. Straightaway you apply for a LHC along with copies of other documents you have.
