Need help regarding transfer of property


20-Jun-2023 (In Property Law)
My dad died an year ago, we have 2 houses(same compound) owned jointly by my dad and his brother. The land where we built the house has been bought by my dad but he registered it in my grandmother's name. And my grandmother(alive) has written a will that after her death the house can be equally shared by my dad and his brother. The document is with my dad's brother, me and my mom have never seen that document and now when we asked for document they are refusing to give it. 1. Since my dad passed away and it is a kind of joint ownership will my dad's brother will be having full right's on the house? 2. What steps should we take in order to transfer name of the property(Dad's share) to my mom's name? 3. How to get the document from them?

Sir,
From your version narrated here, if the will constituted by your mother in law is there, if the property is situated at City like chennai then probation of will is be done, if the property is in area other than city, then you can change the name of your father's legal heirs and mutation of documents can be done.
