Yes. Probate is mandatory in Mumbai for Wills relating to immovable property situated within the jurisdiction of the Bombay High Court. Without Probate, such a Will cannot be legally enforced for property transfer.
In practice, banks and financial institutions in Mumbai may also insist on Probate before releasing significant assets, making it a necessary step for estate administration.
Why Probate Is Required in Mumbai
Probate provides court confirmation that a Will is valid and enforceable, allowing the executor to act with legal authority.
It is required to:
Legally enforce a Will involving Mumbai property
Enable transfer or mutation of immovable property
Satisfy institutional requirements for asset release
Protect the executor from future legal challenges
Without Probate, estate administration may remain incomplete.
When Should You Apply for Probate in Mumbai
You should apply for Probate if:
The deceased has left a Will
The Will includes immovable property located in Mumbai
The executor needs authority to transfer or manage property
Banks or institutions refuse asset transfer without Probate
Delaying Probate can delay property mutation, sale, or distribution of the estate.
What Probate Authorises in Mumbai
Probate legally validates the Will and authorises the executor to implement its instructions.
It enables:
Court-recognised authority for the executor
Acceptance of the Will by registrars, banks, and institutions
Lawful transfer and administration of estate assets
Probate does not change the Will but confirms its enforceability.

I availed of Willjini's POA vetting service. The onboarding and initial connect with the core team was facilitated and supported by Adv. Shweta Ma'am. Details of professional fees were communicated upfront. No hidden costs. Adv. Manisha Ma'am guided me initially, providing vital technical inputs for key decision making. That helped a lot in determing a course of action and appropriate solution for my unqiue requirements. Adv. Riddhi Ma'am helped with reviewing the initial POA draft that I had prepared. The vetting process was thorough and meticulous. A significantly overhauled draft was shared with me and subsequently finalized after taking my inputs and recommendations. I required additional inputs at the time of registration that was further supported by Adv. Manisha and Adv. Riddhi. The registration process was ultimately successful and the POA is ready for pickup. I am grateful to the entire Willjini team for their inputs, guidance and support.
I walked into their office without prior appointment and was attended by Mr.Devvrat Unadkat promptly. He explained with clarity the procedure for drafting a will and also handed over a checklist.
I was assigned a team comprising a Advocate Alpana Rathi and Sucheta Bajaj. From the first meeting with Mr.Devvrat to drafting the will through whatsapp and email by Advocate Alpana and completing the registration formalities by Ms.Sucheta everything went smoothly. The whole team was efficient and professional and with their expertise I am relieved of finalizing and registering the will.
I would highly recommend to my family and friends.
I reached out to them because I needed a will drafted urgently for a house transfer, and I’m honestly so glad I chose them. The team really stepped up. Everything moved quickly and smoothly, but what I appreciated most was how well they communicated throughout the whole process. They kept me updated at every stage without me ever having to follow up. I told them I was in a rush, and they genuinely took that on board — no excuses, no delays, just solid work and a team effort. They got everything done on time and handled it all with care and professionalism. Really grateful for their help and would happily recommend them.
