Dear Client,

Probate is not compulsory in Haryana, So there`s no need to get into useless litigation, which will attract litigation cost also. On the basis of registered will, apply for loan. Bank cannot ask for probate.

Hello,

File for a probate of the case in the civil court and as and when the same is probated claim your share in the property.

Either ask some family member only to purchase your share or you may sell it to a third party.

A probate is granted by the High Court with the court seal and a copy of the will attached.

Make an application for a probate with the competent court (a pecuniary jurisdiction may require a higher court to issue a probate for high-value immovable assets) through a lawyer or advocate.

The probate is done by the testator and in this case she is expired so there is no matter of probate.

Please file a civil suit to order on the will by the court and do the mutation of the property in your name.

This is the best and secured way till there is no dispute of interest.

Application for Probate

A probate is issued with reference to Section 57 and Section 213 of the Indian Succession Act. The probates are granted to the executor or executors (in succession, in case more than one is named), by the High Court, with a copy of the will attached.

One can apply for a probate after seven days of the death of the Testator (or the person who makes the will and is the owner of the property to be distributed).

The application for probate, need to be made with the help of a lawyer or an advocate, to the High Court, under whose jurisdiction the property might fall. Although a lower court may be empowered to supply a probate for immovable properties of a small value, a probate from a higher court is required for high-value immovable assets.

Documents Required for Probate

While submitting a probate application, you need to submit certain documents that prove that:

a.The will is genuine and is the last will made by the testator.

b.The proof of death of the testator.

c.That the will is validly executed in clear conscience of the testator.

Probate is for the whole will and not individual share of property bequeathed in will.

As a matter of fact there is no necessity for getting the registered will probated.

You can enforce the will by applying for mutation and transfer of revenue records if proper demarcation of schedule of property has been clearly mentioned in the will, if not you can draw a partition deed and get it registered.

After that your title to the property will be conferred which will enable you to avail loan.
