SMy uncle has been missing since 2014. He used to work in central govt owned company based in assam (2006-2014). They recently sent a letter to our house ( uncle from my mother’s side) stating his savings and all the monetary benefits can be claimed as my mother was his nominee (they didn’t quote any amount). We contacted the office and they said a legal heir certificate is required in order for us to claim his benefits and for the authority to proceed further with legalities in order to release the amount. However my mother isn’t well aware of how this works neither am I.
Can someone with knowledge shed a bit of light onto it? Like how much time would it require for us to obtain the said certificate and how much would it cost us? Do we have to take out death certificate as well?( our family friend suggested against death cert as the person was never officially reported to be dead ) Would at any point court’s interference be necessary in order for us to receive the legal heir certificate or do we simply contact a lawyer and let them carry out rest of the process?
We are going to contact a lawyer tomorrow anyways but we don’t have much idea of what to expect. So any sort of insight from any of you would help us massively since we aren’t as much financially stable. I understand that it’d require tens of thousands for all the documents and lawyer/office charges but if we were recieve to only a handful amount from the company then we’d rather not put our times and efforts into it and pass on the benefits.
