Will should be registered to avoiid future complications. Hwoever, one cannot avoid going to court. People dont have honesty anymore, chances are matter will end in court and you will go tocourt towards the very end of your life.

Accidentally clicked on like button.  Dont be ecstatic that someone has liked your problem.

You can ask your parents to give complaint against your brother.  or yourself can give complaint against your brotehr with the collector.  Dont approach police for this.

If they are making will get it registered,  Lanugage no bar.  Indian court system is sucn that if your brother wants share in property, indian law has made all arrangements for endless litigation, he can file case and there is no option ofr you other than, roam to court till you die, sometimes children also continue their fathers fight, if you are not married, marry and produce kid, that will help.

Agree with Martin Suji Advocate.

The owner can dispose the estate/property that he/she owns by a valid/registered  deed e.g; Valid WILL in his/her life time, in anyone’s favor.

 

It is not mandatory to register the WILL.

Kumar Doab (FIN)     24 May 2017

Registered WILL is not easily set aside on the counts of authenticity.

Preferably register the WILL.

The charges to register the WILL are reasonable.

Approach O/o The Registering Authority with medical record of owner (mother) showing her as confined to bed, and inquire about procedure and expenses of registeration and registration at home.

Kumar Doab (FIN)     24 May 2017

It shall be better to get her examined by a doctor and declared of having sound mind (to sign the WILL).

She can sign in any  language.

She can and to mention any reason for deciding to give or not to give her estate/property, is her choice.

Any WILL can be contested.

 

Chosse witnesses that are unshakable.

Kumar Doab (FIN)     24 May 2017

It is choice of parents, if they want, to proceed against son that is not supporting,caring and ill treating under the simple, speedy and inexpensive remedy available under Maintenance and Welfare of Senior Citizens (MWPSC) Act, 2007

It is not complusary to register a Will and it can be written in Punjabi, ensure it is properly drafted by a lawyer and has 2 or 3 witness one of the witness should be a family doctor. There is no need to mention why a particular estate is given to one legal heir and wh not to the other. You may get nomination of the property in your name in the society records.

It is a hazard that one has to encounter.

The querist must be aware of the witnesses that can be unshakable.

In case the WILL is registered the authenticity of WILL is ensured to a good extent.

 

 

Kumar Doab (FIN)     25 May 2017

Since any WILL, including registered WILL  can be contested, if contested WILL lands up in probate court of pecuniary jurisdiction.

It has its own cost and time involved in it.

The desription as wanted by querist can be given in WILL.

Since dispute seems to be inenvitable in the matter it shall be appropriate if the WILL is drafted by a very able local counsel of unshkable repute and integrity  specializing in such/civil matters.

Another Prespective:

Valid/Registered Gift Deed with narration to enjoy till alive and to be served  by Son(s)/Daughters till parents are alive.

The Registering authortiy can register at home since aged owner (parent) is alive. 

Kumar Doab (FIN)     25 May 2017

 Maintenance and Welfare of Senior Citizens (MWPSC) Act, 2007

provides security to aged parents as if sons/daughters do  not care the gift can be cancelled/property can vest back to parent.
