Dear Sirs,

I got a Information regarding will probate. Please explain about this .

The below one has been given by experts of the forum.. If so can any one post the Amendment..

With the recent amendment to the Indian Succession Act,the procedure of compulsory probating of the wills has been given up. No need to probate the will at all. You can think over the matter again.

I THINK THIS MATTER IS NOT CLEAR CUT EXPLAIN BY MY LEARNER FRIENDS .I ALSO CONFUSE FOR THIS MATTER .

Dear Anil

as explained above by many learned friends probate is necessary in Metropolitan cities.in your quarry you have not mentioned whether u want to about transfer of immovable property among living persons or after the life of a person. The modes  of transfer of property during the life time of a person are given in the Transfer of Property Act an property after the death of a person may be transfered by way of will or operation of law of succession which applies to the deceased.
