I am seeking urgent legal advice regarding my late mother’s estate. My mother, who was a Government Teacher in Odisha, passed away a year ago.The Issue:Legal Heir Certificate Delay: My application for a Legal Heir Certificate has been pending at the Tehsil office for over a month with no progress.Financial Assets: My father is claiming that he will take all of my mother’s service benefits (GPF, Gratuity, Pension arrears, etc.) and savings for himself.Ancestral/Personal Property: The house we live in was in my mother’s name. My father is now threatening to sell the house without my consent.
My father has already withdrawn the entire LIC amount (possibly as a nominee). He is refusing to give me my rightful share.
