Most Indians die without a will. The consequences — family disputes, frozen assets, lengthy court battles — are entirely avoidable.
Introduction to Wills and Probate is a plain-language guide to making a valid will, navigating probate, and protecting your family under Indian law. Written for anyone without a legal background, it walks you through every stage: drafting and registering your will, appointing executors, handling cross-border assets, and managing the estate after death.
Covering the Indian Succession Act, 1925 alongside Hindu, Muslim, Christian, and Parsi personal laws, this book also addresses the questions most estate planning guides ignore — what happens to your digital assets, how e-wills work, and how to resolve disputes without going to court.
Whether you are writing your first will or settling a loved one's estate, this guide gives you the legal knowledge and practical tools to do it right.
• Step-by-step will drafting, attestation, and registration
• Personal law differences: Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Parsi
• Sample will formats, probate petitions, and checklists
• Digital assets, e-wills, and modern estate planning
• Executors, trustees, and dispute resolution — including ADR
• Real case law from Indian courts explained in plain language
