Hemant Mehta (Querist) 10 October 2021 This query is : Resolved
Greetings,
Below is the draft of a will, which I have complied after gathering information from online platforms. Kindly check and suggest if corrections are required.
There is one question from my side, if answered I would be highly obliged:
Ques. Does this WILL has to be printed on a stamp paper or just a plain good quality paper would be enough?

Thanks, in anticipation

With Warm Regards

Quick Summary

This discussion revolves around the drafting of a will and clarifies whether it needs to be printed on stamp paper or can be on plain paper. The consensus is that a will does not typically require stamp paper and can be written on plain paper, either typed or handwritten. However, it's crucial to have the testator's signature and at least two witnesses. While registration isn't mandatory, it can be done for a nominal fee and may require a small stamp duty.

It is to be typed / handwritten on a plain paper before getting it attested / registered.

Hello,

Yes, stamp paper is not required for executing Will.

Signature of witness, medical fitness certificate is essential while executing Will. You can register Will. Will registration requires nominal stamp duty and registration charges.

You may mention that this Will/Testament is executed on this day...................... Because you may just modify/alter/cancel etc. in your life. And in the last para before in witness whereof....... that I have the authority to cancel, modify, or alter the will/testament during my lifetime shall be mentioned. It can be typed or hand-written by someone else or you can write in your own handwriting on a conquest/xerox paper. It requires no stamp duty in most states. Only registration fees have to be paid.
