A will allows you to communicate how your assets are to be distributed, handled or managed after your death. It is a legal document. This document ensures that your belongings do not devolve as per the laws of inheritance but as per your wishes. All such a document needs to contain is a declaration that it is being made free from any pressure, the details of your property and who will inherit it. It need not be registered, but if you want it can be registered in the office of the sub-registrar. There is stamp duty chargeable on Will registration. After drafting of the Will, there should be a witness for registration of the Will. After executing the Will, the registered Will can be deposited in safe custody with a banker or lawyer. Registrar also has authority to receive and hold in deposit wills.
