Frequently askedquestions

No, its not mandatory to register a will. However, if it is registered with the sub-registrar under the Indian Registration Act, 1908, it reduces the chances of being challenged after the death of the maker.

Any individual owning property must create a will. The purpose of a will is to give the property owner control over its distribution. With a will, the transfer of property in the name of the people the testator provides becomes easier. In case the testator has children who are minors, he or she can mention a name for the children's care in the will.
Property success is a common conflict among family members or relatives of a dead person. With a will, such conflicts can be avoided. The testator can also donate their property to charity if they wish.

When writing the will, specify the executor, the list of properties and assets you own, and who you wish to benefit. The will should be signed by you as well as two witnesses. You should not be a minor, of sound mind, and not be forced by anyone, and this should be stated in the will too.

A WILL registration that has previously been signed by both parties and witnessed might be recorded even after the testator has passed away. Before the sub-registrar office, claimants must provide an original copy of the testator's will along with the testator's death certificate, and witnesses must also be present. If the officer is happy with the documents and thinks they are accurate, a will may be registered. However, if the testator passes away, the officer can start the ‘will enquiry’ process.

There is no prescribed form of a WILL. In order for it to be effective, it needs to be properly signed and attested. It must be initialled by the testator at the end of every page and next to any correction and alteration

Yes! Movable property is covered under WILL.
