Place to file application for issuing legal heir certificate
I belong to Davangere town. Father passed away on 2007. There is a site bought by my grandfather in father's village adjacent to Davangere. The papers of the site are with my uncle who is not in good relationship with us.Till father was alive he did not take any initiative to get half of the property registered in his name. As it was my grandpa's self-acquired property, I believe we (grandchildren) will have entitlement to our fathers share. 1. How can we go ahead for getting the papers from my uncle and initiating discussions for partition and Khata transfer?
2. Mother was a Govt teacher. After serving in Davangere, she got request transfer to a vilage in Hassan district and retired. Myself and my younger sister are the only children (No brothers). Mom lived with younger sister's family in Mysore after retirement. Mom passed away this month and has left only movable assets consisting of little gold, little silver items and some bank accounts for which she had made my younger sister the nominee. In order to claim my lawful half share, I would like to get an heirship certificate from the tahsildar's office. So where should I submit the application for heirship certificate - Davangere, Mysore or Hassan? Will heirship certificate be enough or should I go for succession certificate to claim half of the money that my sister gets through the virtue of being a nominee? If so, where should I go for filing succession certificate? Kindly suggest. Thanks in advance.
