A welcome development. But the mooct question is: how will beneficiary of a will establish (and get) his share in the will as desired by testator. Can I give a copy of the will to property registrar or to my banker and ask him to transfer property or money lying in my late father’s account, to my and my family, as per will of my father? How is a registrar/banker supposed to ascertain genuineness of the will or that a fresh will was not made by the testator?

Very nice development but should be applicable throughout the country. Why’s only to Mumbai, Calcutta, and Chennai? It should be known to the Banks.

You got it wong. Ealier probate was compulsory within juisdictions of Bombay, Calcutta and Madas HIgh Court, not elsewhere. . Now that compulsion has been emoved even within jusisdictions of these 3 high courts.. So, probate becomes non-compulsrory throughout the country.

A very good development but i request how the families should go about,since obtaining succession certificate will be equally difficult, financially expensive and time consuming like probate. Will any body throw light on this as this will help for proper planning of assets.

If there is a will, should succession cerrificate still be necessary? There must be a separate procedure to distribute assets of will maker as per will.
