Can an online will be considered legal or be done on a stamp paper
27-Jan-2023 (In Wills / Trusts Law)
I am a hindu. i father wants to make a will.I want to know whether online will is legal. is it required to make will on stamp paper and register it.
All that is required for a valid will is signature by the testator (the person making the will) and the signatures by two attesting witnesses.
A will can even be written on a piece of paper and get two witnesses to attest it, and it would be a valid will (provided that the bequests are legal). Hence it is no mandatory to be on a stamp paper or registrated
Handwritten and holographic (handwritten) wills are valid .
There is no requirement for having the will made on stamp paper, or registered or notarized.
