A. Dear Client,
According to Hindu Succession Act it is not necessary to register the will legally. So as your grandfather had already put the property on your fathers name and your father also had given you property then legally it your and your brother property. As your father died but he registered the will in which property is in your favour then your Uncle can't claim for that.
Hope, it is helpful

Does a Codicil to a Registered WILL also have to be Registered ?? Any set procedure to draft a Codicil ?


A. Dear client,
A Codicil to a registered will need not be registered. It has to be signed by the Testator and attested by two Witnesses.
There is no such standard format for a codicil. A Codicil can be created by drafting the details testator wants to include and the amendments he/she wants to do in the original Will, in a separate paper, and sign it in presence of two witnesses who also sign the document.

You can follow the following steps if you need any help:

icon Is a Joint WILL allowed

All my FDs are self acquired, I have divided the FDs between me & my wife. Under the circumstances should we make the WILL jointly or separately?


A. Dear Client,

Yes, you can make a joint will with your wife, but in regards to specifically your FD since you have already written nominees and also have a structure which has to be followed in the death of an FD holder it is not necessary to make a will for the FD.

Thank you so much, I hope this answer helped you.
