Will paper

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 24 December 2011 This query is : Resolved 
Sir,

Which Will Paper is more Valid Notary with two Witness or Will Made in Stamp Paper with Two Witness.
Deepak Nair (Expert) 24 December 2011
Registration or notary of wills are not compulsary.
As per the legal provisions, if there are two wills, the will wchich is executed subsequently shall prevail and the first will have no effect.
M.Sheik Mohammed Ali (Expert) 24 December 2011
as per law registered document will take effect, so you can writ stamp paper and register with witness
Shailesh Kr. Shah (Expert) 24 December 2011
I have similar views as Mr.Deepak.

@Mr.Sheik

This is for your kind information that there is no in india, which says that WILL to write on stamp paper.

Will on a simple A4 size paper with two witnesses is as valid as a registered will. However registration is optional in case of will however, it is a safeguard against any future dispute.
Shailesh Kr. Shah (Expert) 24 December 2011
In up, for registration purpose of WILL, papers shall be 'Legal' size.

Though WILL can be written on any paper, it is advisable to write on ledger paper and register it.

I ALWAYS PREPARE A affidavit on Rs. 100/- stamp paper, declaring that I had prepared a WILL on dated , and few details of the Will, and Witnesses details, with Photographs of all, and Notary it with Regn No. , entered in Notary Register, with Photo of WILL Signed in pr of Witnesses & Dr.
Nobody thereafter can challenge the genuineness of a WILL. This is in Addition of a WILL + it’s Regn

Essential requirement of will is that it should be signed by testetor in presence of two witnesses.Will requires no regisration and stamps, can be written on any paper.
prabhakar singh (Expert) 25 December 2011
There is no such word "more Valid "in law as coined by you.

Both the wills are equally valid,one can go opting either route.Even a third route is equally valid where will is on an non-stamped paper of any kind,be it ruled non-ruled plain or A4 or a fourth option may be registered will,going any mode is correct.

Both are of same value.
However a registered Will face lesser hardship to prove if it is challenged at the time of Probate.
