If the property is already transferred in your name you are free to do anything with it...

For the immovable ssests the probation of will is ncessary .though you have already probated it outside India,you need as a requierment to probate in India too. It is to follow the  procedure to keep everything in order. It is advised to probate the will in India  too..

thanks for your reply , when you say 'you need as a requierment to probate in India too' , is it mandatory or optional ? what is legal implication of not doing that ?

depends on  the assets of the individual;

 e.g. a house, bank account, life insurance policy. ... A grant is necessary in order to transfer the property into a beneficiary's name or sell the property.

when property is already in my name, Co-operative society has already transferred it on my name and gave me share certificate in my name.  then why this probate required in India ?
