In Karnataka, a legal heir certificate is now only issued to the kin of deceased govt servants. Everyone else has to obtain a succession certificate through their jurisdictional civil court. It requires filing a suit before the court applying for this certificate.

The legal heir or succession for your mother's property in Tamil Nadu should be made in accordance with the laws of Tamil Nadu, where the property is located. In general, succession to immovable property is governed by the laws of the state in which the property is situated.

You may need to consult a lawyer in Tamil Nadu to advise you on the specific laws and procedures that apply to your mother's property, such as the rules of intestate succession (if your mother died without a valid will) or the process for transferring ownership of the property to the legal heirs.

It's also worth noting that there may be differences in the laws and procedures related to inheritance and property transfer between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, so it's important to follow the correct procedures in the state where the property is located.
