Well, In some cases, Legal Heirship Certificafe do the needful, in other cases, Succession Certificate will do the needful. After understanding facts of your case in detail, will suggest you, whether you apply for Legal Heirship Certificate or apply for the Succession Certificate to close Income Tax Account of your Parents!
For legal heir certificate the appropriate Jurisdiction is Bombay High Court if the property situated within Maharashtra and Goa. District court does not have jurisdiction for this.
I don’t think it is so necessary for PAN closure. However if there is refunds eligible then may be required.
Please be specific with respect to the assets and properties for which you need Succession Certificate
