Secure Your Legacy Under Indian Law
In India, succession is governed by personal laws based on religion. A properly drafted will ensures your wishes are respected, regardless of which law applies to your family.
Indian Succession Act, 1925
Governs wills for Christians, Parsis, and others. We ensure full compliance with Section 63 requirements.
Hindu Succession Act
Applies to Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Sikhs. Navigate ancestral vs. self-acquired property correctly.
Muslim Personal Law
Under Islamic law, you can only will 1/3rd of your estate. We help structure within Sharia limits.
Did You Know?
Over 80% of Indians die without a will, leaving families entangled in lengthy legal battles. Property disputes account for nearly 66% of all civil cases in Indian courts, with an average resolution time of 15-20 years.

Common Questions on Wills in India
Is registration of will mandatory in India?
No, registration is not mandatory under the Indian Succession Act, 1925. However, a registered will carries more legal weight and is harder to challenge in court. We strongly recommend registration with the local Sub-Registrar office.
What is the difference between a registered and unregistered will?
An unregistered will is legally valid if properly executed with two witnesses. A registered will is recorded with the Sub-Registrar, providing stronger evidence of authenticity and reducing the risk of disputes among heirs.
Can I write my own will without a lawyer?
Yes, you can write a simple will yourself. However, for complex family situations, significant assets, or to ensure compliance with succession laws, professional guidance is recommended to avoid ambiguity and legal challenges.
What happens if I die without a will (intestate)?
Your assets will be distributed according to personal succession laws (Hindu Succession Act, Muslim Personal Law, Indian Succession Act, etc.). This may not align with your wishes and can lead to family disputes and lengthy legal processes.
How often should I update my will?
Review your will every 3-5 years or after major life events such as marriage, birth of children, acquisition of new assets, or changes in family circumstances.
Who can be a witness to a will in India?
Any person above 18 years of age who is of sound mind can be a witness. Beneficiaries or their spouses should NOT be witnesses, as this may invalidate their share under the will.
