Frequently Asked Questions
Is registration of a will mandatory in India?
No, will registration is optional but recommended. A registered will carries more evidentiary value and reduces challenges.
What is the difference between probate and succession certificate?
Probate validates a will and authorizes the executor. Succession certificate is for intestate cases to establish legal heir rights.
Can a will be challenged after death?
Yes, on grounds of undue influence, fraud, lack of testamentary capacity, or improper execution. Challenges must be filed in court.
