Will Drafting for NRIs FAQs

How NRIs draft a legally sound will for their Indian assets.
Yes, we can draft an India-specific will for you remotely, with execution guided through appropriate witnessing and, where recommended, registration.
Yes, a will generally needs to be signed in the presence of at least two witnesses to be considered validly executed.
Generally, wills covering assets in different countries should be drafted to complement rather than accidentally revoke or conflict with each other, we draft with this in mind.
Yes, an executor doesn\u2019t need to reside in India, though practical considerations around managing the estate may favor someone with easier access to India.
A handwritten (holographic) will can be valid if properly executed with witnesses, though a professionally drafted will significantly reduces the risk of ambiguity or later challenge.
We recommend reviewing your will after major life events, new property, marriage, births, or changes in your intentions, and periodically even without a specific trigger.
