How to transfer property after death in different states


01-Dec-2023 (In Property Law)
My father in law expired without any registered will. He had two daughters, one is my wife and another died 4 years ago and even his husband died 3 years ago leaving behind 2 children who are currently minor and are living with their grandmother. 1. My father in law has a inherent property in delhi which was sold to him on papers from her mother and there is a will too made showing that this portion of the property belongs to my father in law but this deed is also not registered nor is the will. 2. Another self purchased property is in Vaishali, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. 3. My father in law had made a will giving both the above properties in my wife name as the other daughter had expired but that will is also not registered. Please tell the procedure to get these properties.

Hi,

Your wife needs to apply for the probate of the Will. Probate' means the copy of a Will certified under the seal of a court of competent jurisdiction with a grant of administration of the estate of the testator. A probate can be granted only to the executor appointed under the Will. Further, a probate is essential if the Will is for immovable assets in multiple states.

the best way is to prepare a partition deed between your wife and legal heirs of her deceased sister and partition the properties with mutual consent. Get partition deed registered in the office of concerned sub registrar. Go for registered document.
Thanks
