Explanation

'Probate' is defined in Section 2(f) of the Indian Succession Act, 1925 as 'the copy of a will certified under the seal of a Court of competent jurisdiction'. Section 41 of the Indian Evidence Act presumes the genuineness of documents 30+ years old and makes probate conclusive proof. Section 3 of the Evidence Act defines 'evidence' but not 'probate'. The Transfer of Property Act defines property-related terms.
