Basic Will + Living Will + NoC for renuncing inheritance
Basic Will + Living Will + NoC for renuncing inheritance
20-Sep-2026 (In Wills / Trusts Law)
I need Delhi-based lawyer for end-to-end service of drafting and registration of Basic Will + Living Will + No Objection Certificate renuncing inheritance from all my biological family members.
There is no need to make an NOC as long as you register your Will. Family members can be removed simply through a Will.
Please feel free to contact me for more details and for the procedure for drafting both a Will and a Living Will.
Sure. First of all it needs to understand the title documents belonging to the Testator and other documents in relation to the movable properties along with deriving proportionate shares for everyone entitled.
Dear Sir/Madam, an end-to-end arrangement involving a Basic Will, Living Will and No-Objection/Relinquishment documents from family members should be structured carefully because these documents serve different legal purposes. A Will operates after death and can regulate the devolution of the testator’s estate; it does not require family members to sign an NOC merely to make the Will valid. A Will ordinarily requires proper execution and attestation by two witnesses, while registration of a Will is not compulsory, although registration may provide useful evidentiary value.
If the objective is to ensure that biological family members do not subsequently claim an interest in particular property, merely obtaining a general NOC may not always be sufficient. Depending upon whether the property is self-acquired, ancestral/joint-family property, already inherited, or jointly owned, an appropriate registered release/relinquishment/family settlement may be required from persons who presently possess an actual transferable interest. The succession position should therefore be examined property-wise before drafting the documents. The Hindu Succession Act separately deals with intestate succession and testamentary succession.
Accordingly, before execution, the title documents, family tree and nature of each asset should be examined and the Will and any relinquishment/family settlement documents should be drafted consistently so that one document does not create an ambiguity against another.
can assist with end-to-end legal services for drafting and execution of a Basic Will, Living Will/Advance Medical Directive, and appropriate documents concerning renunciation/relinquishment of inheritance rights by family members. I will first understand your family structure, assets, existing succession rights and your specific objectives, and then advise on the legally appropriate documentation, execution, attestation/registration requirements and safeguards to minimise future disputes. The documents can be drafted in accordance with the applicable succession law and Delhi requirements, with proper guidance on the registration/execution process.
Thank you for your query. I can assist you with the complete legal process, including drafting and execution of your Will, Advance Medical Directive/Living Will and appropriate family relinquishment/release documents.
However, the proposed NOC from biological family members requires a detailed review because an NOC does not necessarily extinguish succession or property rights in every circumstance. I would first examine your family tree, applicable personal law, nature and ownership of your assets, existing succession rights and the persons from whom you propose to obtain the relinquishment.
Following the legal review, I can prepare the appropriate documents and coordinate the execution/registration process in Delhi, including the prescribed procedure applicable to an Advance Medical Directive/Living Will.
Please share your family details, details of your assets/properties, applicable personal law and the exact succession arrangement you wish to achieve. I can then advise you regarding the appropriate documents, procedure, professional fees and registration/attestation requirements.
