HELLO, MY AUNT (YOUNGER SISTER OF MY MOTHER) HAS MADE A WILL TO TRANSFER HER IMMOVABLE PROPERTY WHICH WAS HER SHARE OF HER FATHER'S PROPERTY, IN FAVOUR OF ME AND REGISTERED IT IN THE SUB REGISTRAR OFFICE AT VELACHERY. THE WILL WAS WITNESSED AND SIGNED BY MY MOTHER, ANOTHER AUNT AND MY UNCLE AT THE TIME.(OF COURSE, THERY ARE HER BROTHERS AND SISTERS). MY AUNT WAS A WIDOW AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY CHILDREN. NOW WHEN I APPROACHED CHENNAI CORPORATION TO PAY THE TAX IN MY NAME, THEY HAVE DEMANDED THE PROOF OF DOCUMENTS AND AFTER VERIFYING THE DOCUMENTS THE CORPORATION AUTHORITIES ADVISED TO PROBATE THE WILL IN THE COURT OF LAW.
KINDLY LET ME KNOW WHAT IS "PROBATE" AND WHERE AND WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES IT WILL BE APPLICABLE. SOME OF RELATIVES TOLD ME THAT PROBATE IS NOT POSSIBLE AND ONLY LETTER OF ADMINISTRATION IS POSSIBLE. IT THAT TRUE AND HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO PROBATE OR LETTER OF ADMINISTRATION OF A PROPERTY. EVEN IF I GET LOA IS TI POSSIBLE TO SALE THE PROPERTY.
