What goes wrong — Andhra Pradesh and Guntur specifics
Probate was never mandatory in Andhra Pradesh
Section 213 applied only to the former presidency towns of Calcutta, Bombay and Madras. It was omitted entirely by the Repealing and Amending Act, 2025, so probate is now optional across India.
A beneficiary who witnesses the will loses their bequest
A bequest to a person who attests the will is void, though the will survives. Families routinely use a child as witness and unintentionally void that inheritance.
Assigned land carries a permanent alienation bar
Land assigned to landless beneficiaries under the AP Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act generally cannot be transferred at all, and the bar survives every subsequent sale. Such land periodically reaches the market through chains that look ordinary.
Amaravati capital region land pooling proximity
Guntur adjoins the capital region, and land pooling entitlements and the region's changing status have affected both value and transferability of parcels in the vicinity.
Assigned land alienation bar
Land assigned to landless beneficiaries generally cannot be transferred at all, and the bar survives every subsequent sale.

Will Drafting FAQs — Guntur
How does the Amaravati capital region affect Guntur property?
Guntur adjoins the capital region, and land pooling entitlements together with the region's changing status have affected both value and transferability nearby. Parcels marketed on capital-region proximity should have their pooling and notification status checked rather than assumed.
What is assigned land and why does it matter?
Assigned land was allotted to landless beneficiaries and generally cannot be alienated at all. The bar survives every subsequent transfer, so a buyer several links down the chain acquires nothing — and it does not appear on an encumbrance certificate.
Which Sub-Registrar Office covers Brodipet or Arundelpet?
Guntur city is served by the Guntur office, with Tenali, Mangalagiri, Sattenapalli, Narasaraopet, Ponnur and Bapatla covering the district.
How do I check the Section 22-A prohibited list?
It is checked through the registration department separately from the encumbrance certificate. A property can show a clean EC and still be unregisterable because it appears on that list.
