Hi Radha,

You need to compare Obj.RecordTypeId with Actual RecordtypeId, as we cannot find RecordType.Name directly in new list without querying it. 

Please follow this:
  
if(obj.RecordTypeId == Schema.SObjectType.OBJECTAPIName.getRecordTypeInfosByName().get('RecordTypename').getRecordTypeId()


Hope this is useful

Thanks,

Gaurav

Hi Radha,
Lets say you are working on Lead object  and you want to execute some code for specific record Type. 
trigger recordTypeCheck on Lead (before insert) {
    for(Lead led : Trigger.new) {
		if(led.recordType.Name == 'Your RecordType Name'){
			//Write your Logic here
		}
    }
}

Please mark as best answer if helped.

Hi Radha,

 in your if condition use recod type API name, not lable name :

User-added image
Not record type lable ,
  
trigger recordTypeCheck on objectName (before insert) {

 for(objectName obj : trigger.new){
        
        if(obj.recordType.Name ==  'RecordTypeAPI_Name' )
        {
            obj.Check_Legal_Description__c = true;
        }
  }
}

Thanks, let us know if it helps you.

Hi Gaurav,

Can we capture the recordtypeid before saving the new opportunity in the controller class?

Thanks,

Hi Ravi, 

RecordType is always available you just need to fire the below statement to get the value. 
Schema.SObjectType.OBJECTAPIName.getRecordTypeInfosByName().get('RecordTypename').getRecordTypeId()

Thanks,
