SCENARIO- Due to the death of father, legal heir needs to file income tax return of the deceased. For this, one needs to apply for legal heir certificate but due to disputes other siblings have refused to sign or give any details needed to apply for respective certificate. There is no will left behind.

How can one apply for legal heir certificate or is there any other way to proceed with so that the deceased income tax return can be filed.

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses the challenge of obtaining a legal heir certificate when siblings refuse to cooperate, particularly for filing a deceased father's income tax return. Without a will, the primary solution suggested is to seek an interim order from the district court for representation while the dispute is resolved. This allows the necessary tax return to be filed.
