FAQs
Will Creation Questions NRIs Ask
Can an NRI make and register a will in India without visiting?
Yes. NRIs can execute a will through a registered Power of Attorney or, where permitted, video-assisted execution with witnesses as per Indian law. We draft the will, coordinate registration or deposit with the sub-registrar, and deliver certified copies internationally.
Why do NRIs need a separate will for Indian assets?
Indian immovable property, bank accounts, and investments are governed by Indian succession law. A foreign will may not be recognised efficiently for Indian assets. A India-specific will reduces probate delays and disputes among heirs.
How much does NRI will drafting and registration cost?
Packages start from competitive fixed quotes after a free consultation based on asset complexity, number of beneficiaries, and registration state. You receive one transparent price before work begins.
Can I revoke or update my Indian will later?
Yes. You may execute a codicil or a new will that expressly revokes prior wills. We help NRIs update wills when assets, marriage, or beneficiary details change.
What documents are needed to draft an NRI will?
Typically: list of Indian assets, existing title documents, beneficiary details, ID proofs, and prior wills if any. We provide a tailored checklist after your consultation.
Does a will avoid family settlement or probate entirely?
A clear will significantly reduces disputes but may still require probate or succession certificate for certain transfers. We advise the optimal estate plan including will, nominations, and trust where appropriate.
