no succession certificate is required to inherit immovable property. if your mother in law is alive, then your wife and she is the joint owner of the property. or else you record your wife's name with the municipal authority instead of your father in law's name by producing his death certificate.
Tehsildaar of the concerned Tehsildaar will issue the Legal Heirship Certificate.
Make an application in the concerned Tehsil. After obtaining the said certificate, apply for mutation.
your wife can apply for letters of administration from Bombay High court for property situated in kerala as he died in Bombay
2) court fees is maximum Rs 75000
3) enclose father death certificate . consent affidavit of mother
4) it would take 6 months to obtain letters of administration
5) legal heir certificate would not be granted for immovable property
The person can obtain the legal heir from the Taluk/Tahsildar or district civil court of his/her area. fill the form and submit it to the Taluk’s Tahsildar.
