Registered will...

(Querist) 11 July 2015 This query is : Resolved 
Respected Sir,

I know that a registered sale deed (once implemented) cannot be revoked or taken back.

But, can a registered will could ever be revoked or taken back by the person who has implemented it ?

Please, clarify...
Guest (Expert) 11 July 2015
Yes Please.The Executant could Change or Cancel as long as he is alive.

FOR SURE, THAT CAN BE TILL LAST BREATH OF THE TESTATOR OF THE WILL.
Pran (Querist) 11 July 2015
Even if that will is a registered one ?
Sudhir Kumar, Advocate (Expert) 12 July 2015
any will can be revised any time. A regd will can be replaced by a non-registered.

be specific on the facts.
Rajendra K Goyal (Expert) 12 July 2015
All will including registered will can be revoked / revised / cancelled.
Kumar Doab (Expert) 12 July 2015
Agreed with experts.
T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 16 July 2015
Agreed that the Will whether registered or unregistered, an be revoked by the testator at his own and sweet will and wish any time he desires so.

Then I can conclude that, a will shall never be registered because even if a will has been registered at the sub-registrar office and all the stamp duties with respect to it had been paid, then also the will gives us no value...

Registered WILL fetches more reliance and may not be set aside, if contested.


It is entirely your own conclusion and decision to register or not.

nobody told you that

"............ a will shall never be registered because even if a will has been registered at the sub-registrar office and all the stamp duties with respect to it had been paid, then also the will gives us no value... "

Dear Sir, I have never said that somebody or an expert has told me. I have only wrote that I can “CONCLUDE” from the above expert views that paying the registration fees and stamp duty for registering a will is a waste of money as well as time…

Nothing is a waste exercise. You may go through the contents given as opinion by our expert Mr. Kumar Doab as a reply to your vexatious expression.
Pran (Querist) 17 July 2015
Dear sir, I am not as educated as you are and hence I do not know the meaning of "vexatious expression" but I do know the meaning of "cannot be set aside, if contested" i.e. the originality and validity of a registered will (if not changed before death) can never be set aside and thus cannot be contested by any other person.

Hence, in this context I would say that if a person has his will registered at first and then he changed his will 10 times before his death, then what value does that registered will have at the time of his death ?

And, during this "kalyug" age nobody can be believed even if that person is a relative by blood.

Sudhir Kumar, Advocate (Expert) 17 July 2015
every will is meant to be challenged on one ground or the other.

registered will cannot be challenged on the ground of authenticity.

but registered will can be revoked by unregistered will and it is the last will which matters may be registered or not.

Will has nothing to do with Kalyug.


Now it you really have a problem then come with facts of the case and do not take Viva of the experts.
