yes, there is no need of stamp papers for will. It can be made on a simple paper. but the witness of third party is must. As per as audio recording is concerned, as per my knowledge, it has no value in the eye of law. for more querry u can contact me at: rakhibudhiraja@gmail.com

No legal compulsion for stamp paper to record will. However, if you write will on stamp paper, it is not a legal deficiency also. Similarly, no specific format is warranted. If additional audio recording in addition to written will, is done, it could definitely be cited as a corroborative evidence as and when challenged in future. Two attesting witnesses must be ensured in both the cases.
