You can obtain a Legal Heir / Succession Certificate through your Taluk / Tehsildhar or through the District Civil Court of your area. The best approach would be to get in touch with the Taluk / Tehsildhar office of your area they should be able to provide you with the certificate or in some cases you might be asked to contact a lawyer in District Civil Court to get it done. Based on the report of the Village Administrative Officer and Revenue Inspector and after due enquiry, this certificate is issued by the Concerned Authority mentioning the names of all legal heirs of the deceased. Apart from the above the documents required are:

The legal heir certificate is issued by the SDM(Sub Divisional Magistrate) of the area on the basis of any application submitted by you.

An inquiry is made by the SDM through the SHO(Station House Officer ) of the area and on being satisfied by the inquiry vis a vis your application, the Legal Heir Certificate would be issued to you.
