A.Dear Client!

If you are from Maharashtra, then the will has to be probated from the Court, for its execution. If you are from other state, then need to check that state laws for execution of will.

A.Dear Client,
A person, being major, and of sound mind can execute a Will. - He/she can dispose of all his/her property or any part of property under a Will. - The Will must a last Wil and testament. While registering it, the registering officer must satisfy that the Will was executed by the testator, the testator is dead, and the person presenting the Will is entitled to present it under Section 40 of the act.Any will is executed after the document is signed by the testator in presence of the witnesses, ideally two but the will is to be registered through registrar after paying required stamp duty to register the document. A registered will is always more in approval than an unregistered Will though the latter is perfectly valid; the former is more effective in a contest before a Court of law. The execution of a Will is to be done by the executor appointed for the purpose by the testator. It is nothing but the distribution of property of the deceased according his/her intent as worded in the Will. In order to start his duties as an executor of a Will, a probate is necessary. For this to be realized, the executor should apply for probate of the Will before a competent Court.
