        I’m from Uttar Pradesh and dealing with an inheritance/property issue after my grandfather’s death.

        A lawyer who handled my grandfather’s matters later gave me a copy of a wasihat (will). The issue is that the document does not mention Aadhaar details or some modern ID proof, so I’m confused about how its authenticity and my grandfather’s death can legally be connected/proved during mutation or inheritance proceedings.

        I am not the sole heir — I’m only one of the hissedaars/co-sharers in the agricultural land. Some parts of the family are difficult to deal with, and I want to first understand the legal process properly before informing everyone, because I’m worried documents may disappear or people may create problems.

        The land is in Kannauj district, UP, and some names are already present in Bhulekh/Khatauni records. There have also been previous varasat entries in some khatas.

        My questions:

        Is Aadhaar mandatory for proving validity of an old wasihat in UP?

        Can a death certificate alone establish that the person mentioned in the will is deceased?

        What documents are usually enough for mutation/varasat if the will is old?

        Should I first apply for certified copies and legal heir records quietly before talking to other co-sharers?

        If other heirs oppose later, does mutation stop automatically or can partial shares still be entered?

        I’m only trying to understand the lawful process and protect my share properly. Any advice from lawyers or people who handled UP agricultural land inheritance matters would help.

          Aadhar is not mandatory. Death certificate is enough. Is the will registered. If yes then your case is much easier. Your really don’t have to talk to the others but they can oppose it definitely. You need one of the witnesses in the will to speak on your behalf in the mutation process.

                  You can get death certificate online or from the local office of the government. Just show that you are the grandson and you should be fine. It’s a public document anyways. The person who showed you the will can tell you how to do it also. Perhaps receipt from cremation ground can help
