Obtaining Probate of Unregistered Will Obtaining Probate of Unregistered Will

3 years ago

Hi. I have an unregistered will (signed in front of two witnesses) which I want to legalise with probate. But I doubt that one of the legal heirs may object it. So, What is the safest way of not letting him know anything about the will and proceeding it for probate. For example, before they were staying with us but right now they have shifted to another house which is not their legal address. So can we (at current home) receive the notice on their behalf and not reply? Which will the enable the probate to get sanctioned. Or any other way of getting it passed safely. Also they are not aware of any signed will as they have been a headache to our family.

A.आप उकत वसीयत को probate करा सकते है।चूंकि वसीयत को साबित करने के लिए गवाह की आवस्यकता होती हैं।इसलिए आप गवाहों के बयान से उक्त वसियत को साबित कर सकते है।यदि दुसरा पक्षकार उस पर आपति करता है।कोई बात नहीं चूंकि जब गवाह वसियत कर्ता को यह कहते हूए साबित कर देंगेकी उकत वसीयत को हमारे सामने वसियत कर्ता ने अपनी होस हवाश मे निष्पादित किया था।तब विपक्षी की आपति निरस्त हो जायगी।

A.Hi,
You can prove your unregistered will as stated in Section 63 of Hindu Succession Act. You require at least one attesting witness out of the two witnesses for proving the execution and validity of a will. You will be able to get the property after receiving the probation from court.
