Just you have to go for the Probate, nothing else. And Probate is necessary, when the executor of the Will is not willing to distribute Property as per the Will or any relatives of your's will create any dispute if Probate will not be made from you seeking the Property as per the Will.

Hello sir / madam I have perused your legal query and have to answer the following : If the property belongs in the vicinity of Mumbai then you will have to approach the high court for obtaining probate of will and accordingly once they same is available you will have to submit the same in your society records for transfer of the property in your name.
