Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Will?
A Will is a legal declaration in which a person specifies how their movable and immovable assets should be distributed after their death. It allows you to name specific beneficiaries and appoint a trusted executor to manage and distribute your estate according to your explicit instructions.
Do I need a lawyer to write my Will?
While drafting a Will independently is legally permissible, consulting a legal practitioner is strongly recommended. A professionally drafted Will ensures compliance with legal execution requirements (such as proper attestation), removes ambiguities, and significantly reduces the risk of future court challenges by disgruntled heirs.
What should I include in my Will?
A comprehensive Will should clearly include:
- A complete inventory of all movable assets (bank accounts, shares, investments) and immovable properties.
- Explicit details identifying your beneficiaries and their designated share of assets.
- The appointment of one or more Executors responsible for carrying out the Will's instructions.
- Specific directives concerning guardianship for minor children or conditional inheritances, if applicable.
What is the difference between a Legal Heirship Certificate and a Succession Certificate?
In Maharashtra, the primary distinction lies in the nature of the assets covered and the specific legal provisions:
- Legal Heirship Certificate: Issued by competent civil courts under Section 2 of the Bombay Regulation Act VIII of 1827, this certificate formally recognizes legal heirs to manage and claim immovable properties (land, residential, or commercial real estate).
- Succession Certificate: Issued under the Indian Succession Act, 1925, this court grant empowers legal heirs to collect and transfer movable properties, including outstanding debts, bank deposits, stocks, mutual funds, and accrued securities.
