Asked in Civil
Hello Sir First it would be advised to get a death certificate of your grandfather and then proceed further. The following is the process for obtaining the probate of a will- 1. The executor of the will is required to file a petition and the original will to the court for grant of probate. In the petition, the executor (who will be the petitioner in the case) has to mention the names and addresses of the deceased’s legal heirs so that notice can be issued to them. 2. The executor will have to pay the applicable court fees depending upon the value of the assets. 3. The petition must be filed before a competent court. The pecuniary jurisdiction (Jurisdiction of the court depends on the petition’s monetary value) may require a higher court to issue probate for high-value immovable assets through an advocate. 4. The next step is that the court asks the petitioner to establish the testator’s proof of death, proof that the testator’s will has been validly executed and confirm that this is the last will of the deceased. 5. Next, the court calls for objections by issuing notice to the next of kin of the deceased to raise objections, if any, and also orders the publication of a citation of the probate petition on board to notify the general public. 6. If there are no objections, then the court grants the probate. 7. If there are objections, then the probate petition becomes the original suit, and the parties will have to lead evidence and argue the matter. The court will pass judgment in the probate suit based on the evidence and arguments. Thanks Please rate if you find this advice helpful.
