EXPERT COMMENTS-Query/ Hiring a Lawyer

Dear Law Experts,

My late grandfather left a property in and the heirs are only two of his daughters, being my mother and her sister.

He has made a WILL but not registered. He has two witnesses on the will.

They ( mother and sister) have made a sale of the property and they are required to make 'SUCCESSION CERTIFICATE',

For Succession Certificate "Letter of Probate" and "Registration of Will" is required. ( as conveyed by expert ???)

I want to know following answers:

Is "Registration of Will" required for selling the property by my mother and her sister ?
How much time is needed for making a sussession letter? Is It 7-8 months ????
What is letter of Probate ?
Is "Letter of Probate" and "Registration of Will" must for getting sussession letter or There is any other way to get 'SUCCESSION CERTIFICATE', --- Please advice and give your expert opinion.
Can without 'SUCCESSION CERTIFICATE', ( as demanded by purchaser), My mother and sister can sell the property ?
Why 'SUCCESSION CERTIFICATE' is required by purchaser?

Will be oblised to have expert comments from our fellow experienced lawers.

Can any body refer genuine lawyer in Delhi.

With Warm Regards,

MANOJ
