Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in India

Hello,

We are two sisters and a brother (myself).

My father passed away a couple of years ago. He had built and owned a bungalow (i.e. it was not an inherited property), which he bequeathed to my mother through a handwritten will on plain paper. The will is not registered, but it was duly witnessed and attested by our neighbour.

Under this situation, do we need to get a succession certificate for transfering the property to my mother? Please advice on the procedure.

Regards,

- Vikram

Non need of Succession certificate, submit unregistered Will along with death certificate to the Estate officer for transfer of the property on the basis of the Will.
