Validity of Will written onplain paper and witnessed by two persons.

Will deed is  neither required to be registered nor stamped,  it can be written on plain paper.A valid will should be signed by testator and two witnesses

Yes it is valid, there is no rule mandating the the registration of Will. 

Agreed with the advise of the above experts.

Hi Kapil, I’m Adv. Niharika and here is my take on your query.

S.18 of the Registration Act provides that a will does not compulsorily needs to be registered. However, it is advised to register a will, as a registered will has bleak chances of fabrication and is a strong documentary evidence.

Making a will on a plain paper also suffices, provided it has been attested by two witnesses.

In Ishwardeo Narain Singh v Kamta Devi & Ors. AIR 1954 SC 280, the Hon’ble Supreme Court held that non registration of a will cannot be held as a reason for the invalidity of the will.

Again in Rajkishore Panda vs Banitra Madhya Engineering Vidhyapith AIR 1987 Ori 55, the Orissa High Court held Will to be one of the documents under S.18 of the Registration Act, for which registration was held only optional and not mandatory.
