Since the second petitioner is also a successor to succeed to the estates in question, you may include him as 2nd petitioner in probate and succession certificate case.
What is the opinion of your own advocate on this.
Advocate Bhartesh goyal (Expert) 14 July 2024
As per sec 222 of Indian Succession Act, probate of will is granted to only executor appointed by testator so cause of action does not arises to benrficiary to file probate petition and is not required to implead as petitioner .

According to Section 222 of the Indian Succession Act, of 1926, Probate shall be granted only to an Executor appointed by the Will. So the beneficiary is not necessary for probation of the will.
