Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

A flat in Mumbai, India is jointly owned by mother and her son per the Co-operative Society's document. Mother dies. Son finds a copy of mother's Will but not its original. The copy of the Will states that the son won 83% of the property as he was the one who bought the property for the mother who lived in the property for 10 years before she dies. One of the two witnesses of the Will is still alive. Mother has four other heirs besides the son. What can the son do to establish the ownership of the property and how could the proceeds of the sale of the property be shared?

No idea about Indian law but that's where there have to be an action to probate the flat. If you don't have original will then you go by the intestate laws. So to do anything you're going to have to hire a probate attorney. It probably won't be cheap.
