Will registration in Telangana: the short answer
Registration is handled by the Registration & Stamps Department, Government of Telangana through IGRS Telangana. You register where you live, and the Will can deal with property anywhere in India.
Cities in Telangana
We prepare and register Wills for families across Telangana. These cities have their own local guide; everywhere else is covered in the same way.
How registration works here
Telangana runs registration through the Registration & Stamps Department. Appointments are booked online on the IGRS Telangana portal, and slots are usually released a day or more ahead. Walk-ins are often turned away, so booking first matters.
The office is decided by where you live, not where your property is. A family in Kukatpally with a flat in Vizag still registers in Hyderabad, and the Will can still deal with the flat.
Farmland and the move from Dharani to Bhu Bharati
In 2025 Telangana replaced the Dharani land-records system with Bhu Bharati, under the Telangana Bhu Bharati (Record of Rights in Land) Act. After a landowner dies, the heirs apply to have their names entered in the land records. A clear, registered Will that describes the land by survey number makes that application far easier to support.
Records moved over from Dharani sometimes carry old errors. Before your Will is drafted, check that the survey numbers and extents in your pattadar passbook match Bhu Bharati, so the Will describes the land the way the records do.
Families with property in both Telugu states
Many Telangana families still hold land or a house in Andhra Pradesh. One Will can cover property in both states. You register it where you live; each state's records are then updated from the same Will.
How it works in Telangana
In Telangana, you sign the Will before two witnesses, book a slot on IGRS Telangana at the Sub-Registrar office covering your home address, and attend together for identity checks, photographs and thumb impressions. The Will is recorded and handed back, usually the same day. We confirm the office and book the slot for you.
