Validity of legal heir certificate


29-Jul-2023 (In Civil Law)
My husband died in the middle of our divorce. We were not divorced then. So I got legal heir certificate in the name of myself and our only son. Recently I withdrew our divorce petition. But now I am divorced as he is no more. Is the legal heir certificate valid and useful for my son? Does he have to get new one without my name?

If you have withdrawn divorce petition due to the death of your husband then naturally court must not have granted you divorce so you are widow and not divorcee. So the legal heir certificate will be valid till you are not remarried.
