Overview
A Will is the declaration of a testator's intention about their property, which they wish to be carried into effect after their death.
Registering a Will is not mandatory, but a registered Will is the preferable way to pass on your property and assets as you wish. You can specify exactly how your property and assets are to be divided.
When you need it
- You own property and want to avoid disputes among heirs
- You want to provide for a spouse, a parent or a minor or disabled child
- Your family situation or assets have changed since your last Will
Documents usually required
Open as checklist- ID proof and photographs of the testator
- List of properties and assets to be covered
- Names and relationships of beneficiaries and the executor
- Two witnesses (preferably not beneficiaries) with ID proof
- Medical fitness certificate, advisable for elderly testators
This is an indicative list. Exact requirements depend on the property, the authority and your situation, and we confirm the full list after reviewing your papers.
