You have to approach your area Tahshildar office and apply for Legal heirship certificate in the prescribed form along with death certificate of your father. You have to furnish details like Ration card No and surviving daughters and sons. After getting Legal heirship certificate you can apply for name change in patta. You can arrange a family meeting to share the land among your siblings with the guidance of your family elders. If any of your family member disputes the arrangement you can file a partition suit.
