Hello,
1) Probate of will is not necessary in Delhi especially in view of the fact that the Will is registered and the other heirs have no objection regarding the Will.
2) Probate of Will is only a stamp of authentication by the court that the Will is genuine and is not being challenged.
3) It would be advisable that you obtain affidavits from the sisters to the effect that they have no objection to the Will being executed. Thereafter you can get the property mutated in your respective names in the records.
4) Once this is done the builders should have no problems to proceeed with construction and a contract with you.
1. Probate is optional in Delhi. This being said, probating the will obliterates the possibility of a subsequent challenge thereto. Hence, probate should be applied as a matter of prudence even if the same is not mandatory.
2. Your sisters can inform the probate court that they do not have any objection to the grant of probate.
3. Stamp duty could be around 50 thousand. In Delhi it may take up to 8 months to get the probate in your case.
4. No NOC is required from the sisters in view of the fact that you and your brother have a will in your favour. NOC would have been required only if your sisters had a share in the property, but they have not been given any share in the property by your mother.
5. You are at liberty to reconstruct the house. Apply for mutation and then start the reconstruction.

probate is a legal document necessary for execution of WILL. in each case it is required because how can court give its judicial decision if any dispute will arise in future. Execution of WILL through probate prevents future litigation and disputes. If will is executed without probate then it is called family settlement and if dispute may arise on the basis of WILL then your settlement will cease to exist. If your sisters are agree to leave her interest then you should take relinquishment deed, duly sign by her. This deed should be place before the court if any dispute arises.
