Dear Client,

No compulsory registration required for WILL. It`s duly executed,

All she need to apply for mutation in municipal records attaching death certificate of husband and copy of WILL.

Presence of children not needed.

And don`t get confused with probate of Will, not required in Delhi.

This is my response to you:

1. You will need to obtain succession certificate from the district court;

2. The executor of the Will can directly file a probate petition in the court;

3. Once the probate is passed your mother will get the whole and sole ownership;

4. If you and your sister do not want claim send an NOC or a Deed of Relinquishment singed and notarised from wherever you are;

5. Once you complete the procedure from your side, the property will be transferred to your mother and the mutation entry will be made accordingly in the property records.

Since in delhi the probate is not compulsory the mother can present the WILL along with application for mutation of the property in her name on basis of the will in the concerned Municipal/ DDA or authority under which the flat come.

Further you and your sister can send an Affidavit signed stating that you give NOC on transfer and you two are only legal heris the will is genuine and further No objection if same is transferred according to will on mothers name.

1. A will's registration is not mandatory in India. It is optional at the discretion of the testator.

2. In terms of the bequest made by your father the property has devolved through testate succession absolutely in favour of your mother. The only thing she would have to ordinarily is to get the mutation of inheritance sanctioned in her favour.

3. Since however the will is not registered the MCD will not do mutation. So she will have to file a petition for probate of the will. Once probate is ordered by the court then MCD will carry out mutation.

The Will has to be proved before the court to get legal validity. If the property annexed to the WILL is situated in Delhi, the Original Petition for probate the WILL has to be filed before the Delhi High Court. Your mother alone can file the petition and you and your sister can send the consent affidavit to the probate and the affidavits have to be notarized in USA. Your personal appearance is not necessary.

hello

A Will can be made at any time in the life of a person. There is no restriction on how many times a Will can be made by a testator. However, only the last Will made before his death is enforceable. A Will has to be executed by the testator, by signing or affixing his thumb impression on it. It should be attested by two or more witnesses, each of whom should have seen the testator signing the Will. Though the registration of a Will is not compulsory, it can be registered with the sub-registrar.

On the death of the testator, an executor of the Will or an heir of the deceased testator can apply for probate. The court will ask the other heirs of the deceased if they have any objections to the Will.

If there are no objections, the court will grant probate. A probate is a copy of a Will, certified by the court, and is conclusive evidence that the Will is genuine.

your will is not regd. therefore you have to obtain a probate of the will. after that mutation can be done in the record of the DDA/MCD.

1. Based on the will of the deceased, Mother has to the local authorities (civic body /revenue authority, as applicable), for transfer of Property-Title, in her name.

2. ALL other legal heirs, MUST give proper NOC & Indemnity Bond for the above purposes. The same also can be given via a POA, duly attested before the Indian Consulate.

Since your father had made a testamentary disposition of this property, a mere NOC from the other legal heirs would be sufficient to the revenue department to transfer this property to her name.

This is a matter of one day problem.

1. Will of your father is not required to be registered as per law. It is otherwise also valid.

2. Your mother can file an application for grant of probate of the will (though for the properties located at Delhi, probate is not mandatory as per law).

3. If probate is granted in the name of your mother then as per the Court order, she will be considered as the title holder of the said property.

4. In fact, property is not registered but deed of conveyance duly transferring the title of the property is registered and in the instant case there is no deed of conveyance but the will of your late father.

5. So, you and your sister can execute and register a settlement/relinquishment deed in favour of your mother without mentioning about the will and in that case your mother's name will be recorded as the title holder of the said property in the records of the registrar.
