Yes, for the purpose of obtaining a legal heir or inheritance certificate, the names of both wives of your deceased grandfather should be included, even if they are deceased, along with all their children. This is necessary to establish the complete legal heirship structure and to avoid future disputes. The inheritance rights of children from both wives are equal under the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. Ensure that you provide death certificates of the deceased wives and mention the relationship of each heir clearly while applying.
