About Will Drafting
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
A will in India must be in writing, signed by the testator and attested by two witnesses who see the signing, under Section 63 of the Indian Succession Act. Registration isn't compulsory but makes the will harder to challenge. Probate is compulsory only for certain wills — mainly those relating to property within the original limits of Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata. There is no inheritance tax in India.
A will should name an executor, list assets clearly (including bank accounts, demat holdings, property, business interests and assets abroad), appoint guardians for minor children, and explain unequal distributions to reduce disputes. Nominations in bank and demat accounts don't override a will — nominees hold the asset for the legal heirs.
For business owners we align the will with shareholders' and partnership agreements; for NRIs, we consider whether separate wills are needed for assets in other countries.
