Dear sir
Is registration of will compulsory?
one person (since deceased)having no legal heirs executed one will 20 years back in favour of my father(care taker of the deceased). the will is not been registered. now my father approached to the revenue authority for mutation of the property as per the will. but the revenue authority is denying to mutate the land in favour of my father saying that-------the will is not registered--------evidence relating to the signature attested in the will are of deceased person could not produced.
please suggest remedy as per law.

the registration of will is not compulsory, but the question is you why the revenue authorities shall believe the will?
firstly get the will proved/ executed...visit some local lawyer for practical proceedings.

Ans. There is communication gap, the authorities must have sought probate of the will, hence, you will require to probate the will from a civil court of competent jurisdiction.

thank you one and all, my dear friends...
the registration of WILL is compulsory for its enhanced value at the competent authorities.
but it is not mandatory, to the extent of no disputes.

Registration of WILL will expose the contents and makes it transparent. Hence it is only optional.The Executor of the will has to decide on the matter.

No registration of WILL is not compulsory, however when the reistered it is easy to prove before the revenue authorities ,hence there will be no hassale for mutatation of names from the name of deceased to the name of legal heirs mentioned in the WILL.
