Why dont you Divorce her ? as she wants to divorce you as mentioned by you. why are you taging along with her ? There are ways in which you can transfer the property etc. to your brother either before or after your demise , But please answer my questions first.
Sir:
No matter what, whether divorced filed or not, if you have decided or if she has decided to not to live with you, then you may write your WILL in favour of any one you desire to be the beneficiary. It is not necessary that your wife has to be the Witness. It would have been better if she had been witness. But, since seperated, it is perfectly legal if you have any other two persons as the witness. Witness should not be the beneficiary. Getting it registered is an added advantage. If you have change of circumstances, you can always change the WILL. You may write your WILL as many times as you desire. But every time revoke earlier WILL. it will be your last WiLL which would be read and executed. Once you have taken care of properties which appears to be your major concern, you may handle the issue of divorce in one way or the other
