Hello,
An advocate would need to check in accordance to the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 & Indian Succession Act, 1925 whichever is applicable and obtain a Legal Heir Certificate.
And then all the legal heirs must sign the sale deed as confirming parties.
The property of a female dying intestate, or without a will, shall devolve in the following order:
1) Upon the sons and daughters (including the children of any pre-deceased son or daughter) and the husband,
2) Upon the heirs of the husband.
3) Upon the father and mother
4) Upon the heirs of the father, and
5) Upon the heirs of the mother.
Please note that the cost will vary based upon the complexity of the Legal Heir Certificate.
As far as the cost of the will is concerned it it is clean and simple with no other heirs, it'd be done within 20k. There is no higher limit if a litigation arises and it reaches court.
