Hello. A senior citizen passed away after making a will (not registered). There are absolutely no disagreements or issues amongst his children in this regard.
One of the witnesses passed away last year whereas the other one, a Covid-19 patient, died a few weeks ago.
The house needs to be transferred in the name of the child as per the will.
The local government office is asking them to obtain a Probate. However, is this actually necessary ? Again, no issues amongst the children who are willing to be present before the concerned officer or submit a Notarized statement, if necessary.
Kindly advise. Thank you for the help.
