I would like to know whether probating a will is a must for the property located in madras. i understand that this is not required if it is with in blood relations or if thwere is no dispute. Assuming the testator died during 1991 and the will was not probated , parties enjoying property as per will and it is more than 16 years then is it required to probate. probating action was taken by one of beneficiary in 2007and no one disputed but the fate of this application is not known. neither the court informs nor the prtioner informs. the will is in the court this puts other benificieries in a fix since the benificiery applied for probation is keeping silent.

In west bengal it is mandatory. Check your local law.
