My sister, who was a lecturer in Bangalore, passed away in August 2015 due to cancer. Sadly, she had been divorced for 18 years and had no contact with her husband or son, who is now 27. Neither of them attended her funeral. We, her siblings, were with her during her illness and took care of her. She owned a house in Bangalore and had nominated her father for her PF, but he passed away in 2007. She didn’t leave a will for her property. Could you please guide me on how to claim her PF and other benefits? The college has requested a legal heirship certificate to process the claim.

As your sister did not leave a will, her property, including her PF, will be distributed according to the Indian Succession Act. You will need to obtain a legal heirship certificate from a competent authority to establish your entitlement. This certificate will allow you to claim her PF and other benefits from the college.
