Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India

Is a will good enough or is it recommended that registration should be done

My grand mom has got a piece of land bought on her name. She has a son and a daughter... I am her daughter's son. She wants me to inherit half of that land. She prepared a will for that. Now she is skeptical about it. She has some questions about it.

1) Is the will good enough or is it recommended that she gets the land registered on my name. (bluntly putting it can the will be nullified)

2) In case, the will is good enough what is the legal procedure that i should follow to get it registered against my name after her demise.

Will can be challenged. Will can also be revoked at any time by the Testator.

Will can not be registered after demise of the Testator. It has to be registered by the Testator within 4 months from the date of execution of the Will.

Answer to your query:

(1) Your grandmother is in a total capacity to give the land directly to you. Execute a gift deed in your favour.

(2) Registration of the WILL by your grandmother is recommended.

As per facts:

1) Your grandmother can give the land directly to you. Let her gift the land to you.

2) She has to get the will registered, not you and its recommended.
