Re: How to validate the thumb impression on legal documents

WILL is a unique document - the testator for its validity should necessarily sign the will. As per The Indian Succession Act, the Signature of the testator can in any one of the four forms:

(1) the testator may put his signature

(2) the testator may put his mark

(3) some other person may write the name of the testator

(4) some other person may put his own name to the will

- here mark means pen marks, thumb impressions also!

If the executor of the document is alive you can verify the thumb impression or if he is not alive then if have any other document that has the thumb impression of the executor - you can send it for expert opinion!
