This discussion clarifies the process of dealing with joint property after a death, particularly concerning probate and No Objection Certificates (NOCs). It highlights that a Will only takes effect after the testator's death and that probate isn't always required. The advice given points out that a sister's NOC might not be necessary if the property is jointly owned by the mother and the enquirer, and questions the father's share in this context, suggesting the initial facts presented are unclear.
