House registry of the house if the owner dies

This query is : Resolved
My parents had acquired our ancestral house from my grandfather in 2010. They paid as much for the house, as my grandfather asked to. It was slightly lesser than the circle rate of the house at that time. A will was signed by my father, his 2 brothers, and grand father which states this amount and the fact that my grand father is giving it to my father. However, at that time, my aunt, father's sister did not come to sign the will. Also, a registry was not done at that time because my parents had financial constraints. They wanted to go for it this year, after finishing with the responsibility of my sister's and my wedding. But my grand father passed away a few days back. We fear that despite my parents having paid for the house, his brother(s) or sister may raise a dispute. Is there any way to still get the registry done or avoid a dispute by any other means?

It is believed that you are all Hindu.
The property was self acquired by your grandfather?
The WILL was executed by your grandfather and signed by my father, his 2 brothers signed as witness.
Confirm!
If the WILL is valid then it may be submitted to the authority under whose jurisdiction property falls along with legal heir certificate and death certificate of your grandfather.
The authority may ask as per laid procedure, all legal heir to sign NOC/release advt in newspapers.
If objected upon the probate from court of pecuniary jurisdiction may be required.

How you say that the property was ancestral?
How, when, who the property was acquired and how it came in the name of your grandfather?
Discuss in detail with local lawyer, show him all related documents.

Dear querist, you have posted two contradictory facts reg. the title of the property in question. If the property is not the self- acquired property of your Grandfather, then how can he make a WILL without considering the other stakeholders. Pl. get the docs. examined by an experienced civil lawyer of your area for proper guidance.
