Obtain the legal heir certificate from the requisite/concerned District Tehasildar office. Submit an application with you family details and death certificate of your father.

You will have to apply to the Tehsildar of the Taluka within which the deceased last permanently resided.

Documents required to obtain this would include:-

a. death certificate of father.

b. ration card or extracts of family register disclosing the family tree.

c. aadhar of all the legal heirs.

you will be required to pay a nominal fee to obtain this certificate.

Legal heir certificate will have to be obtained from the tehsildar of the place where the deceased last resided.

Death certificate, ration card (if available), and ID of all the legal heirs will be required.

Also an affidavit declaring that there is no other legal heir other than those present.

Contact a local lawyer for your convenience.

6 months it will take.

your lawyer can pursue it in a batter manner, since publication in the newspaper and gazzette is also involved which will take time therefore this much time it will take.

Contact a legal lawyer, if the said link is not a official government website.

You can obtain a Legal Heir / Succession Certificate through your Taluk / Thasildhar or through the District Civil Court of your area. The best approach would be to get in touch with the Taluk / Thasildhar office of your area they should be able to provide you with the certificate or in some cases you might be asked to contact a lawyer in District Civil Court to get it done. Based on the report of the Village Administrative Officer and Revenue Inspector and after due enquiry, this certificate is issued by the Concerned Authority mentioning the names of all legal heirs of the deceased
