AVADHESH TIWARI (N/A)     07 June 2012

Registered will

A made a will in favour of B , later on A again made a will disqualifying B & in favour of C.now there are two wills one in favour of  A and other one in favour of B. the former will was registered and later is not. 

Now C applied for the administration of will but B came with an objection that since the will in favour of him is registered he should be given the property and  the will in favour of C is not registered it is not valid.

Now i need to know is there any law that a registered will is to be replaced by a registered will only.

also give any supreme court or high court ruling in this regard

Only the validly executed Will of the later date prevails. The registration does not make any difference.

As per the provisions of Indian Succession Act and the Registration of will is not mandatory and consequently the last validly executed and will attested by 2 witnesses would prevail. However in some States like Uttarakhand have made the registration of Will pertaining to agricultural properties mandatory
