Will Drafting & Will Registration in Maharashtra

Clear. Legally Valid. Future-Proof for Your Family.

At Kaydamantra Consultancy Services, we help you draft a legally sound Will, guide you through correct execution with witnesses, and assist with optional registration at the Sub-Registrar / Registrar office in Maharashtra. We also guide on deposit/safe custody of the Will (sealed cover) where applicable.

Note: Registration of a Will is optional under the Registration Act, 1908.

What is a Will?

A Will is a legal declaration of a person’s intention regarding the distribution of their property after death. A correctly executed Will helps avoid disputes and makes the transfer of assets smoother for the family.

Execution requirement (important)

A Will should be signed by the testator and attested by two or more witnesses as per Section 63 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925.

Is Will registration compulsory?

No. Registration of a Will is optional under Section 18 of the Registration Act, 1908. However, many families choose registration for stronger evidentiary value and safe record.

Who Should Make a Will?

  • Property owners (flat/plot/ancestral property share)
  • People with multiple assets: bank accounts, FD, shares, mutual funds
  • Families wanting clear distribution and guardianship instructions
  • Senior citizens, NRIs, business owners
  • Anyone who wants to avoid future disputes

Safe custody option

IGR Maharashtra provides processes for depositing a Will in safe custody (sealed cover), and also procedures for opening/withdrawal as per rules.
