*e$al heir certificate+ , 4egal )eirship Certificate is issued 'y a tahsildar. , tahsildar is an officer of the revenue 'ranch of the State. , tahsildar has no right to decide on disputed issues of title or succession. Prior to the issuance of the 4egal )eirship Certificate, a summary en5uiry is underta6en 'y the tahsildar, through his or her functionaries, to ascertain the legal heirs of the deceased, so far as may 'e possi'le. , certificate is issued on the 'asis thereof. This certificate is useful for certain very, very limited purposes, such as mutation of revenue records and the li6e. Certain pu'lic limited companies are also prepared to act upon this certificate, rather than put individuals through the grind of applying to the court for a formal certificate. %herever there is a dispute, or a more formal certificate is re5uired, a person claiming rights under a deceased has the option to apply to the competent court for the issuance of a Succession Certificate. 7f the deceased has left a &ill, then, certain other court procedures &ill come into play. 7rrespective of the a'ove, if there are disputes 'et&een the various parties claiming to 'e heirs of the deceased, these may 'e resolved 'y the parties either amica'ly or through court. 7n all these cases, the 4egal )eirship Certificate pales into insignificance. , 4egal )eirship Certificate assumes importance only in a scenario &here there is a'solutely no dispute regarding the persons entitled to succeed to the estate of a deceased person. 7t cannot 'e relied on to esta'lish title of any 6ind. 7t is not final and 'inding. ,ny person &ho 'elieves that he too is a legal heir, &ill al&ays 'e entitled to ignore such 4egal )eirship Certificate and institute appropriate proceedings 'efore a competent court. The court &hich is called upon to ad8udicate in such proceedings &ill disregard the 4egal )eirship Certificate and &ill decide the matter on the 'asis of direct evidence laid 'efore it. , person &ho relies on a 4egal )eirship Certificate can therefore do so if he is reasona'ly certain that there are no disputes 'et&een the parties &ho assert claims to the estate of the deceased.
