The Indian succession Act in general applies to all barring muslims or those exempted by any state notification.
If testator appoints an executor in the will Probate can be obtained to prove will genuine for ever against all.
otherwise beneficiaries can apply for Letter of Administration for same very purpose.
Once any of the foregoing two is granted will stands proved for ever and no subsequent proof would be required in future litigations as a judgement of probate or LoA is treated to be judgement in rem and binds the entire world.
