Will Registration
Will is a legal document that mentions the dispersion of property and other assets of the testator (one who writes the will) after his/her death. The will cannot be used while the testator is still alive. Will becomes active only after the testator’s death.
In India, registering a will is not compulsory. However, it is wise to register a will to make it a legitimate document and to prevent conflicts between heirs after the death of the testator.
A will contains the following:
- Details of the Testator
- Details of Legatees (people who will receive the assets)
- Details of the Executor (one who will execute the will after the Testator’s death)
- Details of the distribution of assets between beneficiaries
Pre-requisites of will registration:
- Testator’s ID proof such as Aadhar Card, PAN card, driver’s license, etc.
- Testator’s passport size photograph.
- Mental fitness certificate of the testator issued by a registered healthcare provider.
- Will draft that contains details of the property owned by the testator and its dispersion amongst the beneficiaries.
- Two witnesses and their ID proofs.
Procedure for creating and registering a will
- You must hire a lawyer first. Discuss about your intention to create a will.
- The lawyer will draft the will.
- Then you must visit the office of the sub-registrar for will registration. Personal presence of the testator is needed, along with two witnesses.
- Registration of the will may cost you a nominal fee. After scrutiny of the will to ensure no legal omissions are present, the registrar registers the will.
- Within a week the testator can pick the registered will personally. If not, the will is kept safe at the registrar’s office. It is released only after the death of the testator to the executor after he/she produces the testator’s death certificate.
As per Section 59 of the Indian Succession Act:
- A minor cannot make a will.
- The person making a will should be mentally sound.
- Nobody can coerce a person to make a will. Such a will is regarded as invalid. Also, if a will is made by intoxicating a person, threatening a person, or any kind of influence, then it is invalid.
