probating a will how long it takes?

In Bombay High Court, it could take at least a few to several years if the challenged Will gets converted in to a Probate Suit.There are thousands of probate suits pending and therefore these civil suits take along time to get finally decided.The judgements could be challenged at the bench level and in the SC also.

The unchallanged probate procedure could take 6 months to a year at least to reach a finality.

The situation in Karnataka may also be similar.
