Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in India

When a Court is called upon to decide if a particular will is genuine or not, it will attach greater credence to a plea that a will has been duly executed and attested, if it has been registered. Please note that the issues of whether the will is invalid for reasons like Insanity or Coercion still remain and the registration of a will makes no difference.

Secondly, under Indian Registration Act-Will is not necessarily to be registered and hence its validity and importance will not be affected by registrationThus a non registered latest date will supercedes the registered will

the legal notice is sent to all the legal heirs for entertaining their objections qua the will. regarding the non registered will of latest date, to my mind, the registered will would prevail over the non registered one even if the non registered is latest.

When the court intends it can ask then the registered will be taken into consideration by the Court. The court will only inquire the witnesses to testify the will not the concerned or interested persons.
