our grandmother died without making any will leaving behind 3 grandchildren including me.
Also she left a immmovable property. Now as per the advice of one of the lawyer one of us who is staying in the same city where the property is located is submitting a petition to high court for letter of administration.
It is mentioned in the draft format that the one who is the petitioner is entitled to 1/3 share in the property. Also we [remaining 2 grandson] have to give a consent to him. The wording mentioned in the format for me to give consent is as below:
"do hereby give my full and free consent in favour of the above named Petitioner and pray that the Letters of Administration to the Property and Credits of belonging to the above named deceased may be granted in his favour without service of any Citation/ Notice upon me and without any surety being justified for my share in the estate left by the deceased."
Is it ok if I give the consent? will this protect my interest in the property?
Please reply.

that person is reliable, you can sign. Usually these terms are used in Letters of Administration/ Probate.
