Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India
Sir, Is it necessary to make a Willnama to a probate at Andhra Pradesh cities like Hyderabad, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, if so kindly quote the names of cities at A.P. as one of my friends raised this question to me. Ofcourse I know Willnamas must to make probates only metropolitan cities like Bobmay, Calcutta, Chennai, Delhi (New Delhi) Chandigarh, Banbalore, Ahmedabad etc.not required to other places. I notice one more sentence that State Govt. may declare by notifying the names of cities and places within their teritories from time to time to make a willnama to a probate must.
So, my question is that whether Willnamas are must to make a probate for its validity in the places of Hyderabad, Vijayawada and Visakhapatnam in A.P.? Kindly answer the same. Thanking you in anticipation.

Yes. It is done in the District courts and Sub courts so as to prove the legality of the Will.
Check notifications issued by A.P. Govt.
As per original provision in the central act, probate is compulsory only in the Presidency Towns viz. Calcutta, Madras and Bombay.
