Dear Client,

The WILL is absolutely valid.You can sell the property without any signature of the sister of your father. Befoe selling the property you need to get mutation in your name on the basis of WILL executed by your grand father at your Tahsildar office.. The Thahsildar on your application after inquiry the PATTA will be transfered in your name.

1. The will is valid if the property is the self acquired property of your deceased grand father.

2. Your query is silent as to whether your grand mother and father are alive. The will made by your grand father stipulates that the property will be enjoyed by his elder and younger son after his and his wife (your grand mother's) demise.

3. Is your grand mother alive? If your grand mother is alive then your father and his younger brother have not yet inherited the property. If your grand mother is dead then your father and his younger brother have, in accordance with the will, inherited the property in equal terms. You have no share in the property during the life time of your father as the will by your grand father has expressly vested the sons with equal rights. Your father and his younger brother alone can sell their shares in the property after the property is mutated by them in their favour.

4. If your father is alive then he should get the property mutated in his name as without mutation it will be difficult to sell it. The signature of your aunt is not required.

To transfer the patta in your father's name the following process shall have to be followed.

1. An application, in the prescribed format along with the appropriate fee, is to be submitted to the office of the tahsildar against a valid acknowledgement.

2. All the relevant details of the property need to be furnished in this application, hence utmost care is required while furnishing these details.

3. The revenue office will process the application and the property is valued for taxation purposes and annual tax payable against the property is fixed by the revenue office. In this process new identification numbers for holding, plot, khata, dag etc are allotted to the property.

4. A date is fixed by the revenue office for hearing. Legally speaking, if your aunt has some valid grounds to protest, she can raise or make objections to the revenue officer, before such mutation is approved by such revenue authorities.

Any such objections if taken on record by the revenue officer, you will need to have it over ruled by filing a suitable application for Revenue Tribunal Suit before the appropriate superior revenue authority who has merely taken a note of such protest and have such protest note invalidated after the decision. After due disposal of the dispute (if any) the revenue office issues “Mutation Certificate” to the new owner and the name of the new owner is shown as the owner of the property.

5. For successful completion of the entire aforesaid process, you should avail the services of a local lawyer.
