Related to a name updation on a registered will

This query is related to a Registered Will.

An agricultural land is held in the name of Ms. Shaheen Firoze. She prepared a Registered Will under her maiden name of Ms. Shaheen Firoze. 

As on date she is married and she changed her name to her married name of Mrs. Shaheen Husain. Her supporting documents like AADHAR and PAN are under her married name. The agricultural land is still in the name of her maiden name and so is the Registered Will. 

The query was can she apply for a name updation/correction in the existing Will as Mrs. Shaheen Husain nee Firoze and let the land records continue to have her name as Ms. Shaheen Firoze

OR

does she need to make a new will after getting her name corrected on the land records under her married name of Mrs. Shaheen Husain

OR

she gets her name updated on the land records as her married name and on her Registered Will she just makes a name addition/correction as Mrs. Shaheen Husain nee Firoze. 

Would all 3 options be acceptable in the court of law

Thank you

Regards

Hello, 

It is better that she execute the new 'will' in the new name to avoid the future complications. The stamp duty and registration charges are minimum for 'will' registration.

Her marriage is registered or not?  She shall give a notary affidavit stating that her name before marriage is  Shaheen Firoze and after marriage is Shaheen Husain.
