This query is : Resolved
Person 'A' executed the WILL for the undivided joint property in the year 1999. In the year 2004 person 'A' executed the sale deed for half portion of the joint property (without partition deed done before).
Person 'A' passed away in year 2011
My question is . Does person 'A'... need not to be cancel her WILL before the sale execution in year 2004?
Is that Will document still valid?

not necessary to cancel the will . property has already been sold by A during his life time . hence the bequest for said property would be inavlid

Will would get automatically cancelled with subsequent deed of transfer. No need for separate cancellation.

Will was not required to be cancelled as A was absolute owner of the property sold by him and moreover the will take effect only after death of that person.
