Does a sub-registrar have rights to declare somebody as foster son? The background is that a person has declared himself as a foster son in the Will of my uncle though he is my uncle's brother-in-law. The will has been registered in the sub-registrar's office in which it is mentioned that he is foster son. Is the sub-registrar have the authority to accept / declare a foster son?
A.Dear Client,
A sub registrar does not the power or authority to declare any body with any kind of status, His main job is to register and authenticate the documents which are brought forward for registration. He cannot declare someone as a foster son of somebody.

A.Before the Sub Registrar that Will had been registered, that doesn't mean that the Sub-registrar declared your uncle's brother in law as Foster child. If your uncle and aunt had taken that person in adoption from his biological parents through Registered Deed of adoption then only that is valid adoption and in absence of that such adoption is not valid and that can be challenged before the Court of Law. To give opinion in respect of that registered Will, it is necessary to scrutinize that Will for its terms, conditions and legal implications.
