A. Dear Client,
Without the signatures of witnesses and registration, your grandfather's Will in favor of your father becomes invalid under the law. Additionally, the Power of Attorney becomes ineffective upon the executor's death. As per the law of intestate succession, the surviving legal heirs of your grandfather are entitled to an equal share of the property. To obtain their individual shares, the legal heirs must file a partition suit in the Civil Court with jurisdiction over the property.
