PROBATION OF WILL

My grandfather had made a will in My name. The will is registered but no probation has been done. Can my father sell the properties included in that will? If yes, is there any legal way to stop him from doing so?

If your grandfather is alive, then your father cannot transfer to anyone if the property is self-acquired of your grandfather. If it is ancestral he has a share with other legal heirs of your grandfather. If your grandfather is no more, as per the Will executed by your grandfather, you are only the owner of the property and your father cannot sell it.

Sir grandfather is no more. My father sold a part of land in February that too without our will and permission and we couldn't do anything.

You have to take action on the will and get mutation done in revenue records. If not yet done, contact a local advocate and attend to mutation and also issue a notice to the purchasers. How your grandfather acquired the property and whether he is having such rights to bequeath it other than his share is to be studied by local advocate.

My grandfather at his time purchased some land in rural areas and he gave them to me by making a will which was registered in the year 2013. Now, my father sold some of the land in September 2019 that too without my knowledge or my mother's knowledge. Grandfather died in Feb. 2018. Can my father sell them without my knowledge? If yes, then what should I do to protect the remaining property.
If No, then what are the options available to prove the sale illegal?
