Lawyers are available now to answer your questions.
1) you have to apply for letters of administration from district court as your Aunty died intestate for her movable and immovable assets
2) enclose death certificate of Aunty
3) succession certificate is only for movable debts and securities and would serve the purpose as Aunty owned both movable and immovable property

If there are no relatives alive and you consider yourself as the residual relative to the deceased who has died intestate, then you can file a declaratory suit to declare yourself as the successor in the capacity of the only relative surviving heir to the deceased and how she is related to you etc.
The declaratory suit can be filed in the provisions of civil suit nd provisions of Hindu succession act. Your lawyer will take care of the section hence you can entrust the job to him/her.

After their death can I as a adopted son of elder brother(my father) be successor of younger brothers widow wife share,and I am nephew of her and can I be CLASS II HEIR OF PROPERTY i.e. LAND BUILDING (iMMOVABLE PROPERY).
You are adopted son of your adoptive parents, and no where related to your adoptive father's elder brother's wife.
You can apply for succession to her properties by a declaration as a surviving relative to the deceased in case you would desire to succeed to her properties upon her intestate death and there are no heirs surviving her death.
This declaration should be in the form of a judgment by a court competent on declaration suit filed by you.
Kindly advise whether I shall be Class IInd legal heir of my parents and his younger brothers wife, being adopted child of my parents(elder brother)
You cannot be a class II legal heir to the wife of your adoptive father's brother. You can be declared as a lone surviving relative to succeed to her intestate properties that too after a declaration order passed by a civil court.
Can i be declare as successor of both the brothers who are issueless. whio have no sisters. They have no sister also, only two brothers.
You can be class I legal heir to your adoptive father and class iI legal heir to your adoptive father's elder brother, but to his deceased wife, you are a mere surviving relative and if court decrees to declare you to succeed her intestate property, you may acquire it.
you would be the class 2 legal heir of your aunt
2) Section 15 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 deals with the general rules of Succession in the case of female Hindus dying intestate —
3)The group of heirs of the female Hindu dying intestate is described in 5 categories as ‘a' to ‘e' of Section 15 (1) which is illustrated as under:
In a case where she dies intestate leaving property, her property will firstly devolve upon her sons and daughters so also the husband. The children of any pre-deceased son or daughter are also included in the first category of heirs of a female Hindu;
In case she does not have any heir as referred to above, i.e., sons, daughters and husband including children of any pre-deceased sons or daughters (as per clause ‘a') living at the time of her death, then the next heirs will be the heirs of the husband ;
3) you would be successor of property of your late aunt
4) apply for letters of adminstration from district court as it applies to both movable and immovable properties
you can be declared as successor of both the brothers who are issueless. whio have no sisters.
under Clause (b) of Sub Section (2) of Section 15, the property inherited by a female Hindu from her husband or her father-in-law shall also under similar circumstances, devolve upon the heirs of the husband. It is the source from which the property was inherited by the female, which is more important for the purpose of devolution of her property.
