A. Dear Client
This transaction seems to be akin to selling the your rights in the property to your sister but if the property is self acquired then after the will you will not have any right in the property hence it may not be deemed as such. To secure your position you can make a simple agreement wherein she agrees to pay you some amount and in return you relinquish your rights, if any.

A mortgage does not transfer the rights of the property unless the mortgage deed is invoked for non-payment of the loan. Hence a person can make a will during the mortgage. A will can be made at anytime and the last/latest will is considered as valid.
About spouse - if she has the right in the property then she can make a will.

icon signature of witness required to probate a notarized will?

So I purchased a property owner left me a notarized will giving right for transfer, sale, mortgage & her legal heir (2 sons) have no intention for the property. Her 2 sons are the only witness signed


A. What is probate of will? It is nothing but authenticating the will by the hon'ble court so, when someone applies for probate of a will then the main work of the court is to check and declare the authenticity of the will hence if while applying of the witnesses have signed then it becomes easier for the court to prove the correctness of the will and thus it is required that while filing the application for probate the witnesses must sign the application.
