Hi,
It is important to know why this certificate is required by you.
Because in case it is needed to settle inheritance issues may be you would need to obtain a succession certificate from the court of competant jurisdiction.
This legal hair certificate is issued by the SDM of the area on the basis of any application submitted by you. Inquiry is made by the SDM through the SHO of the area and on being satisfied by the inquiry vis a vis your application, this Legal Hair Certificate would be issued to you.

If there is a Will then a Petition has to be filed with affidavit of one witness before the Court and if there is no witness then a simplicitor petition has to be filed. You may book a consultation with me to discuss this in detail.
