Legal Heir Certificate is a crucial document that establishes the relationship between the legal heirs and the deceased person and certifies their right to inherit the deceased’s property. In India, Legal Heir certificate is generated by the Revenue Department or other relevant Government authority as per the Indian Succession Act of 1925. Obtaining a Legal Heir Certificate is an important step in the process of settling the estate of a deceased person in India. In the absence of a legal heir certificate, it can be difficult for an individual to claim their rightful inheritance and access their deceased family member’s assets and liabilities. It can lead to legal disputes, delays, and additional expenses.

Legal Heir Certificate is required for various legal and financial transactions, such as closing a bank account, transferring funds, claiming insurance policies, and registering the transfer of property ownership. Without a legal heir certificate, these transactions may be delayed or denied.
