Get issued summons of witnesses from court and even after witnesses do not present in court then get issued their bailable or non bailable warrsnt.Witnesses will definitely give their presence in court .

1. It is a classic problem with such apathetic witnesses .... they shall realize this when the same problem becomes their own problem in future.

2. Anyways, inquire with the court master (protho notary), IF duly notary registered affidavit is acceptable to him (typically it is) for verification purposes.

Keep Smiling .... Hemant Agarwal

The witnesses will have to be summoned by court, if they are unwilling to cooperate.
However, the will cannot be enforced till proved by witness(es).

My father is having house which he mentioned to be given in my name in the WILL. However the witness are not willing to appear in the court. Me being the only legal heir, if forget the will then what will be the registration and stamp duty charges for transferring that property in my name. I understand if I go with WILL then there are no charges applicable. Kindly advice
