Yes it’s valid in Mumbai
The Notarized WILL in Gujarat for the property in Mumbai is valid for obtaining probate in future.
Notary or registration is not needed for a Will
As the property is in Mumbai, the probate petition can be filed in the Bombay High Court

It is valid but have to obtain probate order.
- As per law , the registration of a Will is not mandatory , and it can be written on a paper in the presence of two witnesses.
- Yes, this Will notarized in Vadodara can be probate in Mumbai.
Yes, WILL is valid; however, if anyone from your family wants to challenge that particular WILL, it needs to probate.
The Will written at Vodadara or any place is very much valid if it was prepared in the legally valid manner.
The Will can be probated in Mumbai if it contains any property located in Mumbai.
An unregistered or notarised is equally valid at par with the registered Will.
