Need advice on mutation of property before selling it


18-Jun-2023 (In Wills / Trusts Law)
My grandfather died in 2009, leaving a will in the name of my parents. My mother is the only survivor. Now we wish to sell it. Do we have to mutate to sell. The property is still in the name of my grandfather. The will was done by an advocate. We dont know if it was registered or probated. We live in north 24 parganas , west Bengal.

First of all you have to know that is there any registered will, if it is then you have to take probate of the will and then he will execute this wil in the respective manner it was mentioned in the will. Otherwise you have to make a Legal Heairs certificate mentioning that ur grand father and ur father also died leaving behind ur Mon and u. Then using these documents u van make mutation of ur said deceased grandfather's property.

If your mother is the only survivor, there is no need to take the probate of the will, tell your mother to sell the property as for selling the same no mutation is required. If you want to take the probate anyway you have to contact with that Advocate
