Intestate hindu woman's shares and rights of step children

What is written in her will? Are the step children included therein? Please refer the will of the deceased woman.

THnks for the response. She died without will and has 4 of her own children, all alive. 

Then why you have written 'probate is to be applied'?

Since she died without a will and the shares are in her name, in order to to effect transfer of ownership to the children who are alive, will a probate not be necessary? 

Probate is a judicial process whereby a will is proved in a court of law to be accepted as a public document. The deceased died intestate, therefore probate cannot be done.

Since the deceased died intestate, her step children will not have any right over the property.

Since the movable property ( shares )  are in name of deceased mother and she was it's absolute owner and she died intestate so only her natural sons are entitled to get the shares.Her step children have no any right or claim over it.

Thanks much sir for your guidance. While probate is a process for validation of will,  even when no will exists, A probate is necessary for administration since the lady is deceased -

Hope this understanding is also correct? Else how can the shares be transferred and then sold to realise the proceeds. 

Process for succession certificate.

Since the mother died intestate and in non existence of will probate processing are not maintainable.you have to obtain sucession certificate from competant court.

Thank you very much learned friends for your quick guidance on the thread

I endorse and appreciate opinion and advise of experts.

ONLY legal representative of deceased (but not step children) shall be entitled to succeed movable property.

The Lady died intestate and therefore the question of probate does not arise. You need to obtain Succession Certificate in which Step Children do not figure and they cannot claim any right on the property of the Step Mother.

Thank you learned friends for your guidance and advice.
