A.Dear Client,
If a Hindu person dies without a will or the will is missing, the wealth of the person will be divided on the basis of the “Hindu Succession Act”. The property of a Hindu male dying intestate, or without a will, would be first distributed to heirs within Class I. If there are no heirs categorized as Class I, the property will be given to heirs within Class II. The registration of a will is not mandatory in India. A will made on a non-judicial stamp paper is valid subject to the fact the will is attested by at least two witnesses. As per the provisions of Section 63 of the Indian Succession Act, calling at least one of the attesting witnesses is the only way to demonstrate an unregistered Will's execution and validity. The witnesses signing the Will must not be one of its beneficiaries and should be present when the testator signs the draft. If the will is formed by your grandparents than it will be disturbed according to that will only. The Supreme Court's judgments on unregistered wills have established that they are valid and enforceable in law, provided that they are duly executed and attested. However, it is important to note that unregistered wills are more difficult to prove than registered wills.
Thankyou
