How can I get a copy of my registered will in India?

The Sub-Registrar can provide you with a copy of the will if you comply with all the necessary formalities. You must also present the death certificate and prove your relationship to the deceased.

Online verification of a copy of a will is not possible as a Will is a private document that is specific to the person who made it. According to the rules, only the person that made the Will is entitled to a certified copy.

How do you know if a will has been registered?

Ask the legal heirs if the deceased owner left a testament or died intestate. If he did leave a will, was it registered? If it's a registered document, you can search at the sub-registrar office. Speak to Ajay Sethi now!

First you have to make search of the property record of the land, if you want to make a search of property you can contact me for the same. You can claim for the will, when 3 brothers goes to probate the will, then you can challenge will at that time.

Muslim law does not create any distinction between the rights of men and women. On the death of their ancestor (in your case grand nana), nothing can prevent both girl and boy child to become the legal heirs of inheritable property. Preferential rights do not exist.

I would require more information:
Firstly make sure that the Power of Attorney is registered or not;

Secondly, once you have been appointed personal representative, you will generally be given the powers set out in the WILL. No one else, including prior attorneys-in-fact will be allowed to act on behalf of the estate.

Thirdly, if the WILL is registered, then you can get a copy of the WILL from the registrar records.

Presently you can send a legal notice drafted by a lawyer to those 3 brothers stating that the the property is unevenly and unlawfully distributed.
