Will

(Querist) 16 October 2010 This query is : Resolved 
what are the elements of valid Will?
Adv Archana Deshmukh (Expert) 16 October 2010
A will can be written on a plain paper. It should be signed by the testator and 2 attesting witnesses.
A V Vishal (Expert) 17 October 2010
Essentials of will :

It must be a legal declaration of the intention of testator, i.e., the person who makes the will.

The declaration of intention must be with respect to the testator’s property.

The document should express a desire that his intention must be carried into effect after his death

Take effect after death - The intention of the testator must be expressed in clear words on order that the same might be given effect to. There must be express words of bequest.

Testament ' meaning determination of the mind. It is the translation of the Latin word 'Voluntas' which was used by the Romans to express the intention of the testator.

A bare nomination of an executor without giving legacy, or appointing anything to be done by him is sufficient to make a will.
