Is a Handwritten Will Valid in India?” ✍️๐⚖️
A curious question that often comes up in estate planning consultations:
“Can I just write my Will on paper and sign it — will it be legally valid?”
(Also heard: “Dadaji ne diary mein likha tha, woh chalega kya?” ๐
)
✅ Answer: Yes, A Handwritten Will is Valid — But Conditions Apply! ๐✅
As per Indian law, a handwritten will is legally valid, if it meets the essentials of a valid Will under the Indian Succession Act, 1925.
But remember, it must be more than just a scribbled note on the back of a shopping list! ๐๐
