Beneficiary blackmails other beneficiary to sign an undertaking

Blackmailing without offense by the receiver is not possible.  Threats may be there.  But the will prevails and mutual understanding is reduced as agreement or MOU prevails.  Contact your advocate for precise guidance on protecting your interest.

Here I'm the advocate and I'm asking this to protect the interest of my client who happens to be the executor and one of the beneficiaries. Can he revoke the undertaking later,?

Show the will to a local prudent lawyer for better appreciation of facts and professional advise.

Let the elder brother give an undertaking that he will not construct anything on the roof without the consent of the younger sister in order to get the will probated. After that get the will probated. Afterwards if the elder brother actually wants to construct on the roof he must at first stealthly get a coveat from a competent court having jurisdiction that he proposes to construct on the roof and that no stay order on the construction should be given without giving him an opportunity to be heard. Then let him proceed with the construction. The undertaking given before obtaining probate will not be valid unless there was a consideration towards the sister other than getting the will probated. If she mentions any other valid reason for getting the undertaking, then it would be binding on the brother. So far here you have mentioned no other valid reason.
