Probate of will

Dear querist,

There is no time limit for applying for probate.

You can make application now, generally within three years probate should be made. You need to satisfy court why you delayed.

Thanks and Regards

Mr Joshi is correct.  There is no time limit to get Will probated.  If executor has not filed for probate of Will for such a long time, you, as beneficiary can file for Letter of administartion with Will annexed under section 276/78 indian succession act.   It usually takes about 6 to 8 months if other legal heirs donot come to fight against the Will.  If they come to fight,and dispute the Will , it can take 1 to 3 years .
