How to proceed if Tehsildar denies legal heir notice?

My mother’s name was on a 7/12 extract for land. She passed away in a different Mumbai suburb than the one I live in. The Tehsildar for the land refuses to send a query to my area, saying they can only send notices where the death occurred. How should I proceed?

If the Tehsildar refuses to send the notice to your current area, you can request a Death Certificate endorsement from your local municipal office and file a mutation application yourself. Attach legal heir documents and death certificate. If denied, file an RTI or complaint to the higher revenue authority. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
