My wife left a will bequeathing all her property to me, which included a house. Will it require a fresh registration with the subregistrar or is it enough if the ownership is changed in the records of the municipality?

No further registration is required. You may follow the extant procedures in getting the mutation carried out in favour of the beneficiary of the Will. In respect of land, mutation needs to carried out in the revenue records as well.

I agree with the expert advise of Mr. P Venu ji.
After mutation of bequeathed property, title of the property stands transferred in your name which do not require registration.

You can apply for transfer of revenue records to your name if you are the beneficiary of the Will by producing a copy of the Will, copy of death ertificte, copy of the legal heirship certifiocate and complyin with other formalities.
