There are two ways to obtain it:-
a)Legal heir certificate-:- This is issued by Tahsildar. You have to approach Velachery Taluk office which is the Taluk office for Thiruvanmiyur and apply to the Tahsildar for legal heir certificate by mentioning your name and your mother's name as legal heirs. Along with the application, you have to attach address proof, Id proof, ration card, death certificate and any other document that may be required by Taluk office. After submitting the application the Revenue Inspector will come for an inspection to the local address and conduct an inquiry and thereafter legal heir certificate will be issued.

c) Succession certificate:- You have to approach the city civil court and file a succession original petition before the Court. You will need the assistance of a lawyer for this.

Hello, it is nothing but you have to approach the court within the jurisdiction of your father lived in. The death certificate and Legal Heir ship certificate and other relevant details of the property and any other assets or his bank account details have to be furnished while applying for the succession certificate, but it is not necessary. Also you have to pay required stamp duty to be paid. Pls contact me if you have further doubt in this regard. Thanks

Sir,
Succession Certificate is issued by the court of law. A petition under Sec. 372 of the Indian Succession Act has to be filed. You and your sister will be petitioners and since there is no one to question the title of you both, there would be no Respondents.

Once the evidence is let in and arguments are heard court would issue Succession Certificate.
