Hello , My sister's father in law had given the property to her through a registered Will. She lost her husband few years back due to heart attack. One of the witnesses in the registered Will is her brother in law. Can we transfer of property on the basis of registered will? What are the documents required for the same?

Registered Will takes effect after the Death of the Testator, i.e, one who has made the Will before Dying. Gift Deed takes effect during the lifetime of the Testator in case if the Testator wants to transfer the Property to someone as Gift. So, if you want to get the name transfer done, you have to wait for the natural death of testator or get the name transferred from the testator during his lifetime through Gift Deed which should be registered.

Hello, yes you can transfer the property through will but only legal possible solution is to do process by obtaining Probate from the court the court jurisdiction will be determined based on the location of the property.
Once the probate is obtained proper title would be obtained and infuture less chances of anyone else claiming the share in the property.

Thank you

Once the Will is made the same becomes valid and legal upon the demise of the testator you don’t have to do anything now you simply have to submit a copy of this will in the society for the necessary formalities for transfer of the flat
