1. If taking of Probate is compulsory in your state then the Will has no force until Probate s taken.
2.So apply for probate and once it is taken you can take benefit out of this Will.
3.there after you can sell it to anyone you choose.
4. Your aunt has no share in the proeprty.
Hello,
1) If the property was not transferred through a registered document to your grand mother, she has not acquired title over the property and much less had the right and title to will the entire property.
2) You may succeed in selling the property, however bypassing the legitimate heirs can raise legal issues for the buyer and you at a later date if any dispute arise as the title is not clear.
3) It would be advisable to reach a settlement with the legal heirs and get their consent to sell.
is there any supreme court ruling to this.
1) once an arbitration award is passed it would be binding upon parties
2) award passed by arbitrator has not been challenged by any of the parties
3) your grand mother would be absolute owner of the house
4) she can by will bequeath the house to you and your 2 brothers
5) apply for probate of will
6) i presume will is attested by 2 witnesses
7) your father sisters would have no share in the house
1. Section 31(5) of Arbitration & Conciliation Act, 1996 states that the arbitral tribunal shall communicate a 'signed' copy of the arbitral award to the parties. Thereafter, the parties are entitled to file the applications for setting aside the award under section 34(1) or for enforcement of the award under section 36, as the case may be, by annexing the copy of the arbitral award communicated to them.
2. The court in which the execution proceedings are commenced and pending can itself require the stamp duty to be fixed on the award..
1. You are not clear in your query.
2. You have mentioned "My Grandfather transferred his house to my grandmother before passing away through an arbitration decree".
3. Who was the arbitrator and who were the litigators? You are required to clear this point first for getting proper advise.
4. However, Arbitrator is a quasi judicial authority whose decree/order can not be registered. It is a decree and not a deed that you will register.
5. You can now jointly sell the property being the legal heirs f your grandmother for which you shall have to collect the legal heir's certificate from the counselor of your local municipal corporation.
If your grandmother acquired the property through settlement then the will now being made on you is very much valid.
If your grandmother is not alive then the will made by becomes operative.
If will is acted upon and the records have been transferred shall be legally valid.
The claim by your father and his sister may be set aside.
