India Ends Mandatory Probate for Wills

In India, there used to be a rule that said families in big cities like Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata had to go to court to prove that a will was real and legal.

This was called probate.

Now, the government has changed this rule.

Families no longer need to go to court to prove a will is real.

This change makes the rules the same for everyone, no matter where they live or what religion they follow.

It will make things easier and faster for families when someone passes away and leaves a will.

However, without probate, there might be more arguments later about whether the will is real.
