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.

protect cash gifts from future claims

My grandmother is selling one of her properties. She will gift 50 lakhs to me by transferring money from her bank account to mine. I operate all her documents and bank accounts. She is of sound mind, under no pressure, and she is not manipulated. She is gifting this money at her own will. I am concerned someone else in the family might come up later on and claim that I had done something illegal to get that money from her. What documents should I prepare to prevent that.
