Well, you are the legal heir of that person who adopted you, considering, you have the adoption certificate + Gazette Notification of Name Change too. However still, you have not become the Successor of the person's Estate who has adopted you. In order to become the Successor, that person who adopted you, either has to add you as a Beneficiary of his properties in the Will or you have to wait for his dying, then, by getting Legal Heirship Certificate or Succession Certificate from Court, you can become the Successor of the Intestate, i.e, of such died person, i. e, who adopted you and died without making a Will
