Will - Easy to probate...

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 11 November 2010 This query is : Resolved

A educated person executes and registers his will through his thumb impression because he cannot sign due to some medical reasons.
What precautions should the heirs of the person take so that such a Will is probated easily and no problems are created even if it is challenged in the court of law.

Does any kind of attestation of his thumb impression is needed.

Does any medical certificate from the Dr. is needed regarding his medical condition that he cannot sign or his medical prescriptions which self describes the condition of the patient are enough.

Does any other precaution is also needed.

It is enough if a doctor certifies that he is mentally sound and able to understand things and he is unable to sign and thumb impression is therefore taken.

Will this Dr. be called as witness during the time of probate.

Is it ok if this Dr. id not made a witness to the will.

If such a certificate is not obtained before making the will, will it make any kind of difficulty later .

As the treating Dr. himself quite old and is not alive at the time of the probate will it effect anything.

Regards...
