Re: how to get a probate for unregistered will

Irrespective of the fact if the will is registered or unregistered, the procedure is same.

The probate proceedings may be instituted either in the court of District Judge or in the High Court.

The expense involved may depend upon number of heirs; and the nature of dispute/contest. The expense should be considerably less if the will is not contested.

You may contact my Chandigarh office for more details.
