Indian Succession Act, 1925
294. Filing of original wills of which probate or administration with will annexed granted.-
(1) Every District Judge, or District Delegate, shall file and preserve all original wills, of which probate or letters of administration with the will annexed may be granted by him, among the records of his Court, until some public registry for wills is established.
(2) The State Government shall make regulations for the preservation and inspection of the wills so filed.
1) It means if the person requires the probate form the court or court gives any body a letter of administration then the person has to submitted the original will to the court. (And when the executor (the person who gets the probate form the court) works is over which the executor is liable the probate or letter of administration automatically cancels without the assent of the judge on the probate letter or letter of administration or the judge says that the executor works is over so no longer he will be a executor of any property) Pls clarify me .
2) Also as per the above section what do u mean by "until some public registry for wills is established".
Thanks In Advance.

The probate is given in perpetuity. There is no question of it getting automatically cancelled.For 1 year,the executor is in charge & it is known as "the executor's year". After this,the executor is liable to render a/cs. to court & distribute the legacy among the beneficiaries.
until some public registry for wills is established"-It means that till such time a separate Dept. is set up..... Every District Judge.....
etc.
