Hello,

1) It is illegal to make any amendments to a Will. The only person who has the authority to do so is the testator himself/herself during his/her life time. Therefore the so called amendment is illegal and so invalid.

2) To go back and put on effect the actual will the original Will had to get probated in a court of law. This will ratify the will left behind by the grandfather.

The 3 sons are not eligible to amend the Will left by the grandfather. It is only the grandfather who could have done that. The Will even if registered can be challenged on the ground of the incapacity of the 3 sons to amend the Will. It is advisable that the probate be applied by your father for the original Will left by the grandfather. It will nullify all the amendments brought which anyways are illegal and not binding on the parties.

1. It is not clear from your letter that the Codicil(amendment to the WILL) was made by your grand father or by any body else.

2. A WILL executed ealier can be amended later by the person executing the WILL, i.e.,the Testator.

3. It is not mandatory to register the WILL.

4. A WILL cannot be amended by any body else other than the Testator.

5. If anybody tries to amend the WILL, even by next generation lineage of persons of the Testator or by anybody else, it is nothing but forgery and such persons can be booked U/s. 468 of IPC.

6. However if your father's name is not named as one of the beneficiaries, because he was not having any issues at that point of time, the same may be challenged in a court of law.

unregistered will has no effect in absence of corroborative evidence[G.Ganesan vs P.Sundari ]. any amendment/registration in WILL after demise of executor also has no effect. this will has no legal value.

Hem Nolini v. Isolyne Sarojbashini- Section 213 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925 says that no right as executor or legatee can be established in any Court unless a Court of competent jurisdiction has granted probate of the Will under which the right is claimed or has granted letters of administration in respect of the Will. unregistered WILL can't be enforced by probate.

Hi, whether the will was amended during the life time of your grandfather or not if it is amended during his life time you can't do any thing right now.
