1. You is mandatory for you to get probate of the will to get a seal of legal validity of the said will. The probate application might be contested by your siblings.

2. It is not necessary to get NOC from anybody for getting the title of a property of a person transferred to others. However, please keep in mind that in similar case being C.O. No.1668 of 2003, Calcutta High Court has opined " It is therefore evident that the land was given by the government for the benefit of all the members of the family, may be that the deed is in favour of one of them". So, based on the said observation, the very title of the land solely claimed by your mother can be challenged by your siblings and in that case she might not have the right to will the entire property in your name.

3. Your siblings will claim that your mother was one of the beneficiaries of the grant of allocation of the said land along with all the family members including themselves for which she can not execute a will bequeathing the entire property to anybody without their written consent.

2. However, the case law i have cited in my earlier post has not been reported in AIR for which not many Advocates are are about it.

3. So, you may pursue your matter ignoring the above citation.

The transfer of property by testamentary disposition i.e., by a registered Will need not be probated nor NOC to be obtained from other siblings, however the bequest has to be properly defended and their claim has to be properly challenged owing to various factor, one such is that your father constructed the house on the property owned by your mother.

Your mother can execute a registered settlement or gift deed in your favor without taking their NOC for this however you are advised to mutate the property on your name and also transfer all the revenue and other records on your name immediately after this transfer during the lifetime of the donor so that it is confirmed that you took possession of property gifted to you and any challenge on this can be handled properly as per law.

If your mother happens to pass way intestate then both your and your own sister will be entitled to an equal share in the property, however since the construction of house was made by your father, the half sister will also enter into the arena seeking her share on that basis.

Will the claim of my siblings still be valid if they are married, settled and have other property in their name?
