FAQ :
The main law governing Wills in India is the Indian Succession Act, 1925. However, personal laws may also apply for certain religious communities.
Making a Will ensures your property devolves according to your wishes and helps avoid disputes among your heirs and family members.
A Privileged Will is a special type of Will that can be made in writing or by word of mouth by individuals in active service, such as soldiers, airmen, or mariners, with reduced legal requirements for validity.
For an Unprivileged Will to be valid, it must be signed or marked by the testator (or by another person under their direction), with the intention of giving effect to it as a Will, and attested by two or more witnesses who have seen the testator sign or mark.
A Joint Will is a single document prepared and signed by two or more individuals, which comes into effect only after all testators have passed away. It can be modified or revoked during the testators' lifetimes if all agree.
