Why you need it

When you need it

A will naming who administers your estate after death, instead of leaving that to a later court process. Name a primary AND alternate executor, and define administration powers subject to the will and succession law (sections 59, 63, Indian Succession Act 1925: capacity, signature, two-witness attestation). An executor derives office from the will, though a court grant may still be needed if probate law or an asset-holder demands one. Distinguish the executor from a beneficiary, with a substitute if the first nominee dies, renounces or can't act. Registration is optional (section 18(e), Registration Act 1908) — even registered, a will isn't immune from a later challenge.
