Hi

1) Earlier legal heir certificate's were issued by Mandal Revenue office. Now due to supreme court guidelines, MRO can issue Family Member certificate only.

2) A legal heir certificate is different from Family member certificate.

3) Legal heir certificate is used for distribution of properties of the deceased if the deceased did not make a WILL

4) Since your relative is not married, you can get a Family Member certificate from Mandal Revenue office and based on family settlement agreement all of the family members can divide the properties amongst themselves by executing a registered family settlement agreement.

5) Alternatively, you can also approach the court for distribution of properties( for issue of succession certificate) amongst the family members and in accordance to Hindu Succession Act , based on following:

a) Family member certificate of deceased.

b) Details of movable and immovable properties

6) A family settlement agreement is preferred as it is an agreement based on mutual consent amongst family members and it is cheaper and faster compared to courts.

Hope this information is useful

The MRO can issue legal heirship certificate for the class I Legal heirs of the deceased alone.

This person is reported to be unmarried, whether he is survived by class I legal heir, i.e., at least his mother?, if not then the MRO has no power to decide about the class II legal heirs.

You have to file a suit to declare the class II or other legal heirs of the deceased through a suit before the court competent.
