1. You have to file an application for Probate in Punjab. It is a procedure to authenticate the Will. Meet a local lawyer, he will guide you how to do this.

2. Once that is done you can mutate the property in your name. No need for POA before probate is granted.

1. You should get the will probated. Unless probate is granted the sword of a future challenge to the will would always remain hanging over it.

2. After grant of probate you will be the indisputable owner of the property.

1. Probate is issued by the court. Engage a lawyer and apply for probate.

2. Registration of will is purely optional. It does not make the will immune from a legal challenge.

Hi, Probate is the seal of the court that so and so person has executed the will and it is his last will.

2. based on the will you can apply for change of Katha and Secondly it is not clear who has executed power of attorney to you.

3. My understanding is correct your grandmother has executed a power of attorney to you then she died the power of attorney is value in the eyes of law, power of attorney dies along with that person.

4. Will is concerned it need not necessarily registered but will must be attested by two witnesses.

You must file a case before the jurisdiction sessions court for grant of probate to the wills that are standing in your favor, after which you can get the entire property registered in your name including the mutation of revenue records in your favor. Why you need to probate the will is to confirm the enforcement of the bequest made in the will through court to avoid any objection by other legal heirs to acquire the property so bequeathed.

The property acquired through power of attorney deed will not confer title hence the the property bequeathed through will by the power of attorney holder in favor of the beneficiary will not be valid. A person can transfer the property only if he has a valid and marketable title in his name.

A. In your area, probate is not compulsory because of the will has been registered, you can mutate the property by producing executed will before the concerned authority along with necessary documents. For your information will need not be registered in the eyes of law.

B. However, if you want to get genuinity of will that you can approach the Court by applying probate. Probate means Certificate issued by a court that the will of a deceased is legally valid, and that the executors appointed under the will are authorized to administer his or her estate. Once you applied the probate that court will issue the notice to the legal heirs to file an objection to adjudicate the matter and finally will genuinity would be certified by the Court.
