A.Dear Client,

From the query, it is not clear in the absence of devolution of the title of your grandfather's property to your father through an order passed in a probate case, how your father executed and registered a Will in 2015 in your favor based on the basis of 28-year-old unregistered Will of your grandfather and how he filed a suit for probate in 2018 for the said 28 year old unregistered will of grandfather. Moreover, on the basis of the said registered Will executed by your father in 2015 a substitution petition is allowed in 2022 in the said probate case on expiry of the original petitioner of the Probate case filed in 2018. Since the matter appears to be confusing and misleading, please revert back to us with more details that support your specific query to enable us to provide you with proper guidance/suggestions.
