Quick Summary

If your father left an unregistered will favouring you, finding it might be tricky as the sub-registrar and L&DO won't hold copies. It's possible your father deposited the original in a sealed cover with the District Registrar for safekeeping. If you're the beneficiary, you'll need your father's death certificate and a legal heir certificate to apply for its opening. Alternatively, the will could be with a family lawyer, friends who witnessed it, or other family members.

Hello,

The will is not registered so the sub-registrar office will not give you any information about the will. The mutation is made on the basis of will only after the death of a person. So L&DO office will also not have any information about the will.

You stated that your father sent the copy of the Will to some department. I opine the Will in original might have been sent by your father in a sealed cover to the District Registrar of the District concerned for deposit of the will. If you are a beneficiary of the Will, you have to submit the death certificate of your father and legal heir certificate, you have to submit an application to the Registrar, and then it will be opened and as per your wish, the Registrar will take action.

You can not find copy of "unregistered" document of Will with either of the authorities.

If the document is not registered no public authority will keep it. Infact registered documents original will have to be handed over to the person who is registering it. It may be with your family lawyer or family friends including the two witness friends. You can check up with your family members also
