In my Housing Society in Mumbai, one member had expired and we had transferred the flat to the nominee (Her sister). The deceased person had left a will where she had mentioned that the flat is bequethed to her sister who is also the nominee. She has not probated the will for the past over 3-4 years. Now she says she had paid the court fee Rs. 75,000/- and the process for probate is on. In the meantime, she has already entered into a sale agreement and registered the sale of the flat. I am told that the sale agreement is Null and Void in the absence of the Probate. The seller's advocate talked to me over phone and said why should the Society bother about the title and the Society will get the transfer papers aftet the prbate is received. I request the learned members to advise me.
