Legal Heir Certificate

A Legal Heir Certificate is an official government-issued document that certifies the rightful heirs of a deceased person. It is commonly required to claim pension, insurance, salary arrears, gratuity, and for property transfer in the absence of a Will. This certificate formally identifies the legal successors  such as the spouse, children, or parents of the deceased.
This is often the first step before applying for other legal documents like a Succession Certificate or Letter of Administration.
