Do not get Legal Heir Certificate confused with Succession Certificate or Pedigree. Pedigree / Family Tree: It can be obtained from the local authority by making an application along with relevant documents viz. your affidavit stating the surviving legal heirs of the deceased, affidavits of independent persons who know your family stating the known surviving legal heirs of the deceased, death certificate of deceased, photos, birth certificates, address proofs, ID cards of all surviving legal heirs. Can get the same in one/ two weeks' time. Legal Heir Certificate: This is issued by Tehasildhar/ Mamlatdhar by making application along with relevant documents such as Pedigree and the same documents submitted to obtain Pedigree. Might take a month's time Succession Certificate: It can be obtained only to claim rights over debts, securities, deposits, etc. from Civil Court after following the procedure laid down in Indian Succession Act. Same documents would be required along with the documents in connection with the debts, securities, deposits, etc. Might take 6-7 months.
