Create your Will in 3 simple steps

A Will is a legal document that states your wishes regarding the distribution of your property, assets and belongings, and could extend to the care of any minor children.

• The testator, a person who makes the Will, must do so of his/her own free will, must be of sound mind, above 18 years of age on the date of making the Will.
• S/he may make the Will with respect to her/his movable/immovable property, over which s/he has complete ownership, and which s/he desires to be carried into effect after her/his death.

Will Writing is the first step towards ensuring a smooth succession, and helps to avoid disputes or conflicts amongst the family after the death of the testator. Will writing is governed by the applicable personal law of the testator.

Most of us do not have a Will and do not realize the financial chaos that our loved ones could be destined for in case of an unforeseen event.

Will writing ensures that your hard-earned movable/immovable property is distributed to your dear ones (beneficiaries) as per your wish after your death.

Many of us refrain from writing a Will because of the following myths:

• Writing a Will is a costly and tedious task
• Property will be passed on automatically to the spouse or children without any dispute
• Thinking about one’s death can be daunting and thus best avoided

However, Will Writing is not only essential for everyone, but can also be accomplished easily with a little guidance. This simple step will also help to take care of any disputes that may arise in your absence. And though it is not pleasant to think about one’s mortality, preparing for a future devoid of conflict for your loved ones should be enough cause for you to write your Will without any delay.

Remember, Writing a Will is critical for all adults, regardless of wealth, marital status or age. If you have minor children, then you can appoint a guardian under your Will, in the event that both you and your spouse are not around.

• A Will can be made by any individual.
• Anyone, who is of sound mind and above 18 years of age, can make a Will of her/his free volition.
• S/he may make the Will with respect to her/his movable/immovable property, over which s/he has complete ownership, for example her/his dwelling house, land, money, jewellery, paintings, bank account, insurance policy, shares, provident fund, gratuity, postal deposit, fixed deposit etc.
• S/he can include all such assets, which s/he desires to be carried into effect after her/his death.
