WHAT IS A WILL?A will or testament is a legal document by which a person, the testator, expresses their wishes as to how their property is to be distributed at death, and names one or more persons, the executor, to manage the estate until its final distribution.As per Section 2(h) of Indian Succession Act, 1925 provides that Will means the legal declaration of the intention of a person with respect to his property, which he desires to take effect after his death Will has been defined in Corpus Juris Secundum as A ‘Will’ is the legal declaration of a man’s intention, which he wills to be performed after his death, or an instrument by which a person makes a disposition of his property to take effect after his death.WHY DO YOU NEED A WILL?Four reasons why you need a will: A will makes it much easier for your family or friends to sort everything out when you die – without a will the process can be more time consuming and stressful. If you don’t write a will, everything you own will be shared out in a standard way defined by the law – which isn’t always the way you might want.  A will can help reduce the amount of Tax that might be payable on the value of the property and money you leave behind.  Writing a will is especially important if you have children or other family, who depend on you financially, or if you want to leave something to people outside your immediate family.

IS PROBATE MANDATORY :A probate is mandatory only if the Will or codicil has been made in any of the three Presidency towns i.e., Kolkata, and the municipal limits of metro cities of Chennai and Mumbai, or, if the immovable property is situated therein. Else, a probate is optional. However, there is no restriction in law to get a probate of a Will, even if it is not mandatory.THE PROCESS TO GET PROBATE OF A WILL :1. As a first step, the administrator or executor appointed by the testator under the Will must approach the court with the application to receive the probate. While it is a common practice to appoint friends and family as the executors of the Will, as people may naturally trust them more, but there have been an increase in professional executorship, where a trained professional may take care of the administrative difficulties of getting a probate. However, in the absence of the executor being named in the Will, the legatees or the beneficiaries under the Will could also seek probate of the Will.2. In the application for a probate, the executors need to establish the following:a. Facts of death of the testator with proof, which is generally done with the help of a death certificate issued by the local authorities. b. The Will produced before the court is the last Will of the testator. c. The submitted Will was validly executed by the testator. 3. Once the application is submitted to the court, the court issues the notice to the next of kin to file their consent for the grant of probate, and the public at large to file objections to the grant of probate in favour of the executor named in the Will. 4. If objections are filed – called as “caveat application” – against the validity of the Will and grant of probate, both parties have to lead evidence for and against the grant of probate, and the case is decided accordingly. 5. There could also arise grounds challenging the validity of Will or grant of probate. The common grounds for challenging a Will are fraud, coercion, undue influence, suspicious nature, lack of due execution, lack of testamentary intention, lack of testamentary capacity, lack of knowledge, and forgery. 6. Since the probate is granted by a high court, one has to pay a court fee, based on the value of the assets, which are subject matter of the petition. The court fee varies from state to state. In the state of Maharashtra, depending on the slabs, it is subject to a maximum of Rs. 75, 000 while in Chennai, the maximum slab is Rs. 25, 000. If it is found that granting the probate would do justice to the intention of the testator, then the probate is granted to the executor under the seal of the competent court. This ensures the due execution of the Will, which to a great extent reduces the discrepancies and suspicions associated with a Will. A probate cannot be granted to any person who is a minor or is of unsound mind, nor to any association of individuals.FEES / COST OF PROBATE OF A WILL?:For probate of will in Maharashtra you have to pay 5 percent of the assets which are claimed in WILL, as court fees for probate of will in Mumbai. Probate fees in Mumbai and rest of Maharashtra is same. However, the said fees are also subject to a ceiling of Rs. 75, 000/-.legal charges will be Rs50, 000 to Rs1. 50 lakhs depending upon the advocate and complications involved in your probate work.WHAT IS THE TIME LIMIT FOR PROBATE OF A WILL?Typically, there is no time limit to probate a will. However, in one case, the SC has stated that 30 years from knowledge of existence will. A probate for a will is required to be obtained only under circumstances ... limits, in so far as they relate to immovable property situate within those limits.
