A.Dear Client,
The first step in transferring a property to a legal heir's name is to either get the will probated or get letters of administration (LOA). Probate is a court-certified copy of the will. It is done to determine the validity and authenticity of a will in the court. Once the probate of the will is done, the beneficiary will have to visit the office of the sub-registrar concerned with the relevant documents to get the property transferred in the name of the legal heir. A legal heir/beneficiary (as per the will) is required to submit an application form for transfer of ownership, a copy of the will, a copy of probate order or letter of administration(LOA) original property papers, death certificate of the property owner, ID and address proof of the legal heir and deceased property owner. The office of the sub-registrar will check the documents. The time taken in the transfer process depends on the correctness of the documentation. Once the sub-registrar is satisfied with the documents, the authorities will update the property records with the name of the legal heir/applicant concerned. At the end of the process, a legal heir should ensure that his/her name is reflected as the new owner of the property in the sub-registrar records and land revenue records, Municipality records. Your grandfather's 2nd wife's son cannot claim a share in the property which is devolved upon you through a will executed by its deceased owner.

A.Dear Client,
Wills are generally considered legally binding, and the wishes expressed in a valid will are typically respected. However, challenges can arise if there are disputes or if the will is contested. We need to review the will left by your grandmother to ensure that it is legally valid and properly executed. Collect relevant documents, such as the will, property deeds, and any other legal documents that support your claim.
