Hello,
After your grandfather's death WILL should be Probate, and that property will automatically transfer to your father's name. When its a registered WILL then nothing to worry about it. May I ask you where is your father resides right now? And WILL executed in which place?

Yes you can get plot registered in your fathers name for that first of all you have to make application in that regard to concerned revenue authorities and along with application they may ask you to attach death certificate of your grandfather. You are also required to pay taxes imposed by concerned authorities nd you can sell it or else just get it transferred to your fathers name and ask the purchaser to pay taxes decide this issue by mutual understanding.And this general rule that registration charges in sale deed are paid by purchaser .For any further query feel free to contact me

Which state is the property located in? Normally if will is registered, at the time of selling, one can do so on the basis of registered will. You can also check the transfer formalities from local authorities.

Certain factual details are required such as location of property (State and city), whether there are any other legal heirs of your grandfather. Based on the provided facts it can be advised that on the basis of registered will deed your father should apply for the mutation in his name in the property records. Its advisable to obtain probate from the court for execution of will and a No Objection affidavit from other legal heirs. Property Tax has to be paid. Before selling, its important that your father's name is entered in property records.
