What’s the process for getting a Legal Heir Certificate in Delhi? Is this the same as a Survival Certificate?

To obtain a Legal Heir Certificate in Delhi, you need to apply to the SDM (Sub-Divisional Magistrate) of the concerned area, providing death certificate, relationship proof, and other relevant documents. A Legal Heir Certificate establishes the identity and legal rights of the heirs to the deceased’s property. This is not the same as a Survival Certificate, which proves the individual’s existence for specific purposes like pension or insurance claims.
