A person has many immovable properties and shares and stocks in the form of proprietor firms, partnership firms, private ltd companies and also other land and buildings with only his share in these properties alongwith the other siblings. He wantas to make a Will for these all properties and shares that are in his name. Should he provide a schedule of properties mentioning the entire description of his share in the properties or only a general clause is sufficient stating that "all my properties standing in my name after my death shall be bequeathed by my children". Please help.

If schedule is there is it better for clarity and future references.Also in the body of the will the property description is to be mentioned for clarity and to avoid future litigation if any.
