Hi All,
Hope to get a good advice from this forum.
1)A known person has left a registered Will in My name . He died recently due to old age.
2)He registered the hand written will 10 years back and there is no other wills.
3)He has no heirs as he was unmarried
4) I was his close friend and took care of him during his old age.
5)Witness - The witnesses who signed the will : One is dead , Another one is acting hostile.
6)Our Lawyer is saying the letter from the signed witness is required to state the validity of his signature.
My question is how important it is to obtain the letter from the witness?. He is asking for the money , even when I am ready to pay it he is dilly-dallying everyday.
Please advice : This is what I read in this question below. Is that right?
The non presence of other witnesses in probation proceedings for registered Will shall not be having any ill effect as the record of the sub-registrar and his personal presence as Witness to prove the signatures of the Testator should be sufficient.The non presence of other witnesses in probation proceedings for registered Will shall not be having any ill effect as the record of the sub-registrar and his personal presence as Witness to prove the signatures of the Testator should be sufficient.
