If there is no will, your religion decides the formula.
Dying without a will is called dying intestate. Your estate is then divided by the personal law that applies to you. None of these laws take your wishes into account.
Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs and Jains — the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. Class I heirs, meaning your spouse, children and mother, share equally. Your mother inherits alongside your spouse, which surprises most families.
Christians and Parsis — Part V of the Indian Succession Act, 1925. Where there are children, the widow takes one-third and the children share two-thirds.
Muslims — personal law, with fixed shares. A will can generally cover up to one-third of the estate for non-heirs without the other heirs consenting.
A nominee is not an owner. Naming someone on a bank account or insurance policy only authorises them to receive the money. Courts have repeatedly held that nomination does not override succession law — the nominee holds it for the legal heirs. A will is what actually directs where an asset goes.
Nothing to upload before your call. These are only needed once drafting starts.

Six things that break a will — and how we prevent each.
Most disputes trace back to drafting gaps rather than bad intentions.
Vague wording
Phrases like "to my children" without naming them, or "my Mumbai property" when you own two, invite competing readings and court time.
What we do: Every beneficiary named in full, every asset described with an identifier — survey number, account number, exact description.
No residuary clause
The will lists specific assets but says nothing about anything else, so later-bought assets fall back to default succession law.
What we do: Every will we draft includes a residuary clause covering assets not named elsewhere, including ones bought later.
The wrong witnesses
Under Section 67 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925, a gift to a witness or their spouse can be declared void.
What we do: We confirm both witnesses are adults of sound mind, not beneficiaries, and not related to one — before you sign.
An out-of-date will
Marriage, a birth, a death, or a major purchase can leave an old will causing the same disputes as no will at all.
What we do: We flag the life events that call for a review, and revise your document when your circumstances change.
No executor named
If nobody is appointed, a court must appoint an administrator, which adds months and cost.
What we do: Every will names a primary executor and a backup, so one person declining doesn't stall everything.
Drafted but never executed
A will that is written and never properly signed and witnessed is worth nothing at all.
What we do: We guide you through signing in front of two witnesses and arrange free notarisation or registration in your city.
What families tell us.
"I'd been putting off making a will for years because I assumed it meant expensive lawyer meetings. The call took fifteen minutes and the document felt properly thought through, not like a generic form."
AR
Ananya RaoBengaluru
"My father is 71 and not comfortable with computers. Their team called him and completed the whole thing over the phone, then had it notarised in our city."
MI
Meenakshi IyerChennaiTelephonic Will
"Living in Dubai, I was worried about how my flat in Kochi and my mutual funds back home would be handled. Their team arranged attestation here and registration back home."
VN
Vikram NairDubai, UAEWills for NRIs
"With two properties and a small business I needed more than a template. Having the will registered at the SRO gives real peace of mind."
AB
Arvind BhattHyderabadWill with Registration
"Straightforward and surprisingly reassuring. I finally have something in writing for my kids, and it didn't take a whole weekend."

"My parents always said I should have a will 'someday'. WillSetu made someday take about fifteen minutes, start to finish."

"Clear questions, clear document. I liked that it explained why each section mattered instead of just asking me to fill in blanks."

"They told me honestly that I did not need the most expensive plan. That is what made me trust the rest of it."

Questions families ask before starting.
A complete will with free notarisation is ₹4,999 as a one-time fee. A will with free registration at the Sub-Registrar is ₹19,999. A telephonic will is ₹14,999 and our NRI service is ₹19,999. There are no retainers and no hourly billing.
No. The consultation call is free and there is no obligation. You only pay if you decide to go ahead with a package.
No. Registration is optional under the Registration Act, 1908. A will is legally valid the moment it is properly signed and witnessed. Registration creates an official record with the Sub-Registrar, which makes the will considerably harder to dispute or misplace.
Notarisation is a notary public attesting your signature. Registration formally records the will with the Sub-Registrar Office, creating a government record. Registration gives stronger protection against a future challenge, which is why we recommend it where there is property or more than one child.
Two adults of sound mind who watch you sign, and who then sign themselves in your presence. They should not be beneficiaries or married to a beneficiary — under Section 67 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925, a bequest to a witness can be declared void.
Yes, provided the final document is printed, signed by hand and attested by two witnesses. Indian law does not currently recognise fully digital or e-signed wills, so we guide you through signing properly and arrange notarisation or registration.
Yes. You can update a will at any time while you are of sound mind, either through a codicil for a small change or a fresh will that expressly revokes the earlier one.
Yes. Our NRI package covers your India-based assets, with a 120-minute consultation, attestation in your country of residence, notarisation support for two years, and free registration in your home city in India.
No. We are a document preparation and coordination service, and using this service does not create an advocate-client relationship. Our clause library is built and reviewed by qualified advocates. For disputed assets, business succession or trusts, we will tell you to engage an independent advocate. See our disclaimer.
