Any person who is of sound mind can write his Will on a plain paper and sign it and can also get it signed by two witnesses, even then that Will is valid, but on the other hand it is also true that in many cases the Will is challenged and in many cases the Will has been cancelled by the court. But if the person writing the Will gets the Will verified by a medical officer and gets his stamp on it, then it proves that at the time when that person was writing his Will, at that time that person was of sound mind and mental health, then the Will remains in the favor of the person in whose name the Will is written.
For this reason, this question is also asked a lot whether the Will should be registered or not. That is why we always advise everyone to get the Will registered. There are some reasons behind this, the first reason behind getting the Will registered is that when we get the Will prepared as per registration.
So the possibility of any kind of formal or legal deficiency in this is greatly reduced, because we usually get such a will prepared by a well-informed lawyer and go to the sub-registrar office to get the will registered, while getting it registered, a preliminary investigation is done, the person who prepared the will is verified and the signatures of two witnesses etc. are also taken in the sub-registrar office itself.
So in such a situation, the possibility of any kind of formal or legal deficiency in the will is greatly reduced. The second advantage is that after getting it registered, the possibility of the will being doubtful is greatly reduced, because the person making the will and the witnesses etc. come to the sub-registrar office and sign, their fingerprints are also taken and all this happens in the presence of a government official, so after registration, the will cannot be doubted even on a minor basis.
Can Any Person Challenged Registered Will Deed In The Court
Although we are not saying that a registered will cannot be challenged, it can definitely be challenged, but after registration, the grounds for challenging the will are greatly reduced. The third advantage of getting a will registered is that unless there is a solid basis and strong evidence, no one challenges a registered will and even if someone challenges it, such challenges are rejected by the court.
Many people do not get their will registered saying that they have good relations with their family members and hence there is no possibility of the will being challenged in future. Therefore, it is a very good thing to have such a family situation but many such cases have also been seen in which when the person making the will dies and after that everything seems fine till death but what is in someone’s mind, these things come to the fore after the death of the person making the will or if that person does not get anything in the will, then he becomes dissatisfied and challenges the will or say that time is such that one does not know when someone’s mind changes.
Like any transfer deed, in this also there is no stamp duty on the price of the property and neither is the registration fee high. Therefore, at a nominal price, the validity of your will increases significantly and the chances of it being challenged are greatly reduced. Therefore, there is no harm in getting a will registered, rather there are only benefits.
Make your Will and always sign it in the presence of the person named as the testator, as it is his last Will, and it should also contain the names of the people who signed as witnesses in his presence and in the presence of each other. And always get the Will verified by a medical officer.
