Legal Question in Family Law in India

Re: How to make a will

You will from India will be recognized here, however, you may have some problems with the intent of the will. If your primary estate is in India and your residence is in India, then probate should be in India and an ancilary proceding in California, if necessary. If your primary estate is in California and you intend to stay in USA, you should have a will prepared in California so probate will proceed here. Being unaware of the law of India, I cannot tell you how that country may treat the California will and whether you may need a separate document for India. If you intend to remain in USA you should get a will here, and then contact an attorney in India to discuss property that is in India. Pat McCrary

Re: How to make a will

Dear Gentleman:

It is the most easiest thing on the earth. You write or type what you feel on a plain paper, sign each page and on the last page get your will witnessed by any two witnesses, major in age. If you can get it attested by the consulate in USA, it would be good, but, legally it is not required. Your Will would be enforceable both in USA as well as in India, unless challenged by any of your legal heirs other than beneficiary.

Just another tip, you make Will of properties, moveable or immoveable, you own.

Any question, do not hesitate

Good luck and regards
