SERVICE OVERVIEW

Will / Testament Services

The Indian Succession Act, 1925, governs Will for Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Parsis, Buddhists, and Christians. A Will is a legal instrument where a person (testator) expresses their intention for the distribution or handling of their possessions and property after their demise by naming executors. It comes into effect only after the testator's death.

Dying without a Will is known as dying intestate. We provide expert legal guidance to ensure your assets are protected and distributed exactly according to your wishes, avoiding complex family disputes.

What is Will

A Will basically specifies the person who will handle the assets and look after them subsequently after the death of the maker. It is a vital legal document that ensures your legacy is managed responsibly.

Types of Will

There are several legal classifications for Will based on the testator's circumstances:

  • Unprivileged Will: Made by testators who are not part of the armed forces.
  • Privileged Will: Specifically for members of the armed forces, involving relaxed legal formalities.
  • Holograph Will: Entirely written by the testator in their own handwriting.
  • Joint/Mutual Will: Created by two or more persons (often spouses) to define common or reciprocal distribution.
  • Conditional Will: Becomes effective only if a certain condition is satisfied.

Importance of a Will

A testament is necessary because it is economical and wise so as to avoid the toil and complications of dividing wealth among executors. Absence of a Will often becomes the reason for family feuds, making a legal document essential for peace and clarity.

How To Make A Will In Favour Of Multiple Beneficiaries?

Distributing property to multiple people—family, friends, or employees—requires a systematic approach:

  1. Property Inventory: Make a comprehensive list of all your assets and properties.
  2. Beneficiary Selection: Identify every person you wish to receive a share of your estate.
  3. Share Allocation: Decide exactly who gets what and in what proportion.
