How to Make a Will in Mumbai

Table of Contents

Let’s be real, nobody likes to think about what happens after they’re gone. But let’s face it, life in Mumbai is unpredictable (to say the least!). 

Having a Will in Mumbai isn’t just about the big bucks, it’s about making sure your loved ones are taken care of and things go smoothly when you’re not around to handle it yourself.

Why a Will is Your Best Friend in Mumbai

  • Peace of Mind: Seriously, who needs the extra stress? Knowing your family is protected? Priceless.
  • No Family Feuds: We’ve all seen those Bollywood dramas, and trust me, you don’t want your family fighting over your stuff. A Will keeps things clear and avoids those awkward “who gets what” arguments.
  • Protect Your Loved Ones: Life throws curveballs. A Will ensures your loved ones are financially secure, no matter what.

  1. The Executor: Your Trusty Sidekick
    • This is the person who makes sure your wishes are carried out. Choose someone reliable, organized, and maybe a little bit of a boss (in a good way!).
  2. Beneficiaries: Sharing the Love
    • Be clear about who gets what. Your favourite niece? Your college buddy? That awesome charity you always donate to? Spell it out!
  3. Little Ones? Plan!
    • If you have kids, a Will lets you appoint a guardian to look after them. Plus, you can set up a trust fund to make sure they’re financially set for the future.
  4. What’s Yours is Theirs (or Whoever You Choose!)
    • Your Ride, Your Jewels, Your Stuff: Everything from your scooter to your gold chain.
    • That Apartment with a Sea View: Yep, your property goes in the Will too.
    • Moolah, Stocks, and Investments: All your hard-earned money needs a plan.
  5. Taxes: Ugh, the Boring Part
    • Nobody likes taxes, but they’re a reality. A good lawyer can help you navigate this and make sure your loved ones aren’t hit with a huge bill.

FAQs

Absolutely! Mumbai is a dynamic city with valuable assets. A will ensures your wishes are respected and your loved ones are protected after you’re gone. It prevents potential family disputes and ensures a smooth transfer of your assets.  

If you die without a will (intestate), the Indian Succession Act will determine how your assets are distributed. This can lead to unwanted outcomes and potential conflicts among family members.  

Technically, you can write your own will. However, it’s highly recommended to consult with a legal expert like Adjuva Legal. We can ensure your will is legally sound, adheres to all requirements, and accurately reflects your wishes, avoiding any potential challenges later on.

A valid will in Mumbai must be:

  • In writing: No verbal agreements are accepted.
  • Made by a person of sound mind: You must be mentally capable and free from undue influence.  
  • Signed by the testator (you) and two witnesses: These witnesses must be present when you sign the will.
