Sir
Succession certificate is different from the legal heir certificate.
Succession certificate is issued by the Ld. District Delegate in relation to the moveable property left by the deceased, such as fixed deposit, share , monies in bank account.
Legal heir certificate can be done by mere Affidavit from the 1st class magistrate, where one or all of the legal heirs can take oath before the Ld. Magistrate.
It differ from Advocate to Advocate relating to the fees.
Thanks
