Family settlement complying other formalities and registration of the same are best and cost effective. If required consult with detail.

Dear Sir,
For a ₹30 lakh house at Sodepur, minimum probate cost ≈ ₹1.8–2.1 lakh and time ≈ 3–12 months, if uncontested.
How to Reduce Time & Cost (Practical Tips)
File joint consent affidavits
Mention clearly that Will is uncontested
Engage a local probate lawyer at Barasat
Ensure correct valuation (avoid overvaluation)
No need for separate succession certificate.
Documents Required (Prepare in Advance)
