Will on Plain Paper Will on Plain Paper

2 years ago

As I MIss Flavia Joan have mentioned previously that my Aunt (Spinster) - "Deceased" had made a will for transfer of Rights ( stashed and found 2 years later ) on a Plain paper signed and witnessed by two of her legal authorities (Parish Priest and Family Doctor) to her married Sister (also deceased before the Assesstor) who was supported by her sisters sibling (myself) due to her inability and was living with me for the last two years before her death. Just wanted to know if the Will on the Plain Paper is Valid? cause I need to transfer the Rights of the Property (under Landlord) to continue her good work as a ladies tailor when living. Please advise. Thank You.

A.Hi,
There is no hard and fast rule that mentions the type of paper or any other specifications on which a will must be registered. As long as all the valid essentials to constitute a will are present, then such a will is valid. The matter of fact referring to the will being on a plain paper does not play any role and such a will is valid, legal and enforceable.

A.Will is the only document which can be prepared/created on any paper or stamp paper and is the easiest legal document to be prepared by anyone. Yes, the will made on plain white paper is valid if it signed by the Testator.
