FAQs

Will Creation Questions NRIs Ask

Yes. NRIs can execute a will through a registered Power of Attorney or, where permitted, video-assisted execution with witnesses as per Indian law. We draft the will, coordinate registration or deposit with the sub-registrar, and deliver certified copies internationally.

Indian immovable property, bank accounts, and investments are governed by Indian succession law. A foreign will may not be recognised efficiently for Indian assets. A India-specific will reduces probate delays and disputes among heirs.

An unregistered will is valid if properly signed and witnessed, but registration with the sub-registrar creates stronger evidentiary value and reduces challenges after death. We recommend registration for NRIs with significant Indian property.

Packages start from competitive fixed quotes after a free consultation based on asset complexity, number of beneficiaries, and registration state. You receive one transparent price before work begins.

Yes. You may execute a codicil or a new will that expressly revokes prior wills. We help NRIs update wills when assets, marriage, or beneficiary details change.

Typically: list of Indian assets, existing title documents, beneficiary details, ID proofs, and prior wills if any. We provide a tailored checklist after your consultation.

A clear will significantly reduces disputes but may still require probate or succession certificate for certain transfers. We advise the optimal estate plan including will, nominations, and trust where appropriate.
