Dear client 

Tell me you are belonging to which state in India . it is possible to change your father name in death certificate.

if you are in chennai i will do need full please contact  me  

If the will says 'to my son X' then you can prove that this is you by showing your father death or birth certificate Or through other documents. 

You can probate it will you want to prove its genuinity. 

The Will can be probated if it cannot be enforced at this time on behalf of the deceased beneficiary, by his legal heirs.

This problem can be solved by giving an affidavit stating that his name was that whereas e was known by this name also hence there is no legal infirmity in it.

This affidavit before the court may be accepted if not objected by the other side.

This can solve your problem.

Executor has  to apply for probate of will 

2) enclose grand father and father death certificate 

3) did your father predecease your grand father ? 

4) is there a residuary clause in will 

5) it is necessary to peruse will to advice 

First you should make an affidavit stating your father's short name, before magistrate . Some witness would be required .

After this go for probate of the will. 

This would not cause any big problem .

The procedure for proving the Will remains the same

The testator's sign has to be attested by the 2 witnesses 

If there is a contest to the Will then evidence or proof can be given for the alias name 

If there is no challenge to the Will then such proof is not needed

You need to get will probate from court.

If you can establish through valid documents that your father had alias that would suffice.

If you have decided to prepare an affidavit you may contact a notary public in the local. 

He or she would guide you properly about the procedures to be followed including documents to be attached and the cost etc.

The opinion or suggestions from others may not be a proper answer. 

You need death certificate of grand father 

2) schedule mentioning details of property 

3) legal fees vary depending upon the lawyer engaged by you 

4) affidavit of one of attesting witnesses 

5) testamentary petition for probate takes 6 months if there is no contest 

 delay in filing probate has to be explained 

section 68 of evidence act provides that you have to examine atleast one attesting witness to prove the will .

2) if both the attesting witnesses are dead you can prove the will by other evidence . you can examine a witness who can identify the testator signature on the will .

3) you also have to produce death certificate of AW as evidence that both witnesses are dead .

If your father had taken possession of property enforcing Will,  there's no necessity for getting probate of Will at this stage. 

You first ascertain the current situation and discuss with an experienced advocate in the local and take suitable action as is required to the circumstance.

Your grandfather has written your fathers alias or nickname in the will it can pose problems later if you go on to sell the property or enter into any agreement with respect to the said property.

it is better to get the will probated from testamentary court so as to avoid any such issues later on.

1. Legal fee for probate it is quite variable and differ from lawyer to lawyer. You had also have to pay court fee which also varies from state to state.

2. you will have to file a petition before testamentary code for grant of probate where in in the court will issue notice to all the the legal heirs and in case nobody has any objection, you will be granted probate.

3. You would required the original will,  death certificate of your grandfather, ID proofs, affidavits from testators.

4. All the legal heirs, testators, Sub Registrar, if the will was registered.

If the witnesses have died, then also will can be probated by leading other form of evidences before the court to prove the genuinity of the will.

It seems that will has been drafted in a very casual manner and perhaps not by a lawyer. You just don't put nick names alone in the will. It is a recipe for disaster for B if A makes a will in favour of B and identifies B as Tommy in the will. The other heirs who are excluded can successfully challenge it in the civil court to seek a declaration that will is non est.

1. Since the testator is dead the will cannot be changed.

2. Now your father should apply for mutation on the basis of will and if mutation is not sanctioned on the ground that the legatee cannot be identified then your father will have to file a suit for declaration that he is the person to whom property has been bequeathed in the will.

1. Has your late father availed grant of probate of the said will?

2. If not then application for probate shall have to be filed now by the legal heirs of your late father sending copies of the application to all the legal heirs of your grandfather.

1. The maximum Court fee for seeking grant of probate is Rs.50K. It might cost you Rs.1.50 lakhs in total.

2. Application for probate shall have to be filed before the Court who will send copies of the application to all the legal heirs of your late grandfather to enable them to either consent or contest.

3. You need the original will and the death certificate of your grandfather.

4. All the legal heirs of your grandfather or their successors will be the parties to the said probate application.

1. You have no alternative other than filing the application for probate of the will.

2. It will not be a easy jhob for you to get the probate since non of the persons involved with execution of the will is now alive. however, you shall have to take witness of the typist who had typed the will.

Dear

You should file a suit to probate the will on ground that name mentioned in the will is short name of your father and grandfather use to call your father by that name which is written in will. 

you can prove the will by getting the signature compared with contemporaneous signatures of the testator, by Forensic expert. Law always opens the door to the aggrieved person in one or the other manner. The court will examine the nature of the will and the circumstances under which it has come in to existence etc.
