There is provision for registering the Will after the death of the maker of the Will.

IT IS A FRAUD ,IF U ARE FAILED TO DISCLOSE THE DEATH OF PRINCIPLE, EVEN PROVISION FOR LRS TO GET IT REGISTERED.

No and if the will is not attested by two witnesses it is not valid either.

s.subramanian (Expert) 05 September 2010
There is only one situation to which Mr.Ranganathan is obvioulsy referring. That is a case where the testator keeps the will in a sealed cover and entrusts the same to the sub registrar. On the testator's demise and on the production of concrete proof of the death of the testator,the sealed cover is opened and the will contained in it is registered. This procedure cannot be adopted in any other situation .

absolutly yes if two attesting witnesses attested the will as per law, u/s 40 registration act there is clear procedure of posthumus registration of a will.kindly note mr.subramanian.

Yes. It can be register.

After the death of the testator the will can not be registered. But it will be legally valid document. So the will is valid either registered or unregistered there is no legal problem arise.
Then what is need of the registration of the will.

Advocate Rajiv Mishra (Expert) 11 September 2010
sorry mr.mahalaxmi, the registration of will is necessary for agricultural land in u.p. . regstration after the death of testator is given in s.40 reg act.
