Registration fee of house property after the will probated:
A registered will on a house property is made by my father in favour of me
After the demise of my father, I intend to probate the will in Court
I come to know that I have to pay 7% registration fee to Govt of Odisha (property in Bhubaneswar Odisha) on the proerty after probating to register in my name in Subregistrar Office
However, all other legal heirs to the said property are agreed to relinquish their rights in the property in my name and the registration of Relinquishment deed carries less fees by Govt of Odisha.
Should I opt for Relinquishment route over Probating will route in order to save about lakhs of registration fees in view of difference in registration fees between the two ?
Your valuable jurisprudence is highly solicited.
Regards.
Yours faithfully,

Contact a local advocate and he will provide you a deed of family settlement as accepted by others, and get the deed and get award status through Legal Services Authority. Is probating the will compulsory in your state, whether the will was registered (no registration is not compulsory)?. Relinquishment of share in immovable property requires compulsory registration, hence your advocate should draft the deed and also mention that as per the will dt............of the deceased the property belongs to Sri...............the No............son. The other legal heirs are contributing their signature and have no objection to transferring the property in the name of ...........................as per the will dt...................of deceased father ...........................
