Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in India

Ignoring a will

My grandfather wrote a will allowing

his house and land to devolve to his

two sons (one deceased after) after

the death of his wife. There are

three sisters who are not

beneficeries. There is a plan that the

six heirs (had there been no will)

decide to ignore the fact there was a

will decide to develop teh property

and receive six shares in their

names. Subsequently, could one of

the brother's heirs decide to

challenge the ''agreement'' they had

made by signing the document

allowing for the development of the

property by producing the will.

1. Would their signature not be

considered constructive agreement or

would they have to specifically give

up further rights?

2. Would it be illegal to claim there

was no will if all the potential

beneficeries were happy with it?
