- As per law, none having right to claim the property of father even through a WILL during his life time. 

- Further, if the property is an ancestral then a WILL is not valid , and a WILL can only be written if the property is self acquired property of your father. 

- Further, registration of a WILL is not mandatory , and it must be written in the presence of two witnesses. 

- If , you think that the said WILL is not written by your father and has taken under influence , then you can send a notice to him for partition of the property. 

- If no positive response, then file a Partition suit in the court. 

- Further , as you are not in India, then you can engage a lawyer for the same.

Whether NRI or resident Indian, you may have to file a suit to challenge the Will if you suspect the Will to be fraud and he is doing such fraudulent things for wrongful gains.

1. Where is the property situated?

 

2. In most of the states, probate of the will is required to be availed otherwise the will is considered as invalid.

 

3. If probate of will is must in your state, contest the probate application fittingly.

 

4. You can now file a partition suit claiming share of your father's properties to start the matter when he is expected to submit the will to enable you to contest the same.
