Execution of will

I have a registered will which my father has transferred his property in my name. I have 2 sisters. On sister says that she also needs share in the property. Please guide how can I become the owner of the property for which I have the registered will. Property is in my fathers name. It is a self acquired property. Is it possible for my sister to contest the will? The property is in State of Haryana.

Obtain the process, forms for transfer on the basis of death certificate and copy of the WILL, from the authority under whose jurisdiction the property falls.

Complete the process.

WILL can be contested.

Since the WILL is registered it may not be set aside on the count of authenticity.

It is not mandatory to probate the WILL in Haryana.

The other option is to probate the WILL and if opposed the court shall authenticate under its seal and issue decree.

You may consult an able counsel specializing in family/revenue/property/civil matters.
