Legal heir certificate is an important document if you are the surviving member of the family. The certificate is a legal document that ascertains in official records that you hold the legal heirship rights to deceased assets. I learnt of all of this during the first wave of COVID when I lost my father. It was a horrific time. I didn’t have anyone to rely on and the pressure to complete the legal formalities was just overwhelming. Everything was shut down so it was practically impossible to get legal heirship certificate. I looked for ways on how to apply legal heir certificate online and finally got to know that the process to get it online began in 2015.

I am going to share with you the step by step process that I followed to make this struggle tad bit easier for you. Here is me answering some questions.
