Is a Handwritten Will Valid in India?

 Is a Handwritten Will Valid in India?” ✍️📜⚖️

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?” 😅)

✅ Answer: Yes, A Handwritten Will is Valid — But Conditions Apply! 📌✅

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! 😆📝

💡 Pro Tip: A typed and registered Will is always preferred for clarity, authenticity, and better legal standing. But a handwritten one still holds good value in law, if properly drafted.
