Hello,
I am new to this forum.
My Grand-mother has left a Will, declaring my father and my uncle as the 2 heirs of her house, in Kolkata
She expired in 1986.
My father and uncle, due to their personal disputes have not done anything about the Will. They have neither partitioned the property also legally.
They simply couldn't agree on how the house can be partitioned.
As a result, the property doesn't belong to them as of now, and naturally they cannot further Will it to their respective sons, that is, me and my cousin.
Can you guide me, as to what is the next step, that can be taken by my father?
My father says, we need to take a Probate of my Grand-mother's Will( excuse my ignorance of legal terms please) first.
He believes, my uncle is dilly-dallying about these legal steps, so that he can continue to occupy more than his share of the property( on the Ground Floor), as he is doing currently.
My father is asking, is it possible to take Probate of my Grand-mother's Will unilaterally, even if my uncle doesn't oblige, or be party to the activity?
I have also learnt that the executioner named in the Will has also expired.
Can you guide me as to how we can go about sorting this out?
Regards
