My papa, a Hindu, died last month. In his will, he left some realty in Mumbai and Nashik to my sibling and me. I comprehend that a probate is needed for the home in Mumbai, however I am not sure if it is required for the Nashik home also. Could you suggest on this and describe the probate procedure?

Note: when the probate is approved by the court, it will certainly take throughout Maharashtra and for that reason will certainly include the Nashik home also.
The request to look for probate from the Bombay High Court will certainly need to be submitted by the administrator of the will. If the administrator is you, after that you will certainly need to submit the request, else kindly speak to the administrator to launch the rules.

Relevant court charges, calculated on the worth of the estate, will certainly be payable also. The initial will certainly is likewise needed to be sent and will certainly be maintained in the court policeman’s protection. It is suggested that the administrator involves a specialist lawful consultant to help in the probate procedure.
