Why you need it

When you need it

Present an executed will voluntarily for registration, or, after death, an executor/claimant presents it under the Registration Act — OPTIONAL, not a substitute for valid execution (section 18(e)); section 40 names who may present it. State the original will, presenter capacity, page count, identity evidence and office. A registered will can still be challenged for capacity, coercion, forgery or improper execution — don't claim registration makes it conclusive. Section 27 lets a will be presented at ANY time (unlike the ordinary four-month rule for other documents). The current local fee wasn't confirmed.
