Application:
The application for a probate has to be made to the competent court (a pecuniary jurisdiction may require a higher court to issue a probate for high-value immovable assets) through a lawyer.
Documents:
The court usually asks the petitioner to establish the proof of death of testator, proof that the will has been validly executed by the testator, and that it is the last will and testament of the deceased.
Notification:
After receiving the petition or application for probate, the court issues a notice to the next of kin of the deceased to file objections, if any, to the granting of probate. It also directs the publication of a citation in a newspaper to notify the general public

Odisha Court Fee Act is applicable in Odisha. Uttarakhand's law regarding deposit of Court Fee will not be applicable to Odisha as much as it differs. You will have to act as per the law prevailing in Odisha.
