Will Drafting in Bengaluru: the process in Karnataka
Registration and legal formalities are governed at the state level, so the exact law, portal and fees for Bengaluru follow Karnataka's rules. Here's how it works.
Governing law. Indian Succession Act, 1925 (ss.59–73; s.63 requires the testator's signature and two witnesses). Registration is optional under s.18 of the Registration Act, 1908 (presentable any time). Registration is administered by IGR Karnataka through the Kaveri platform.
How will drafting works in Karnataka
- List all assets and decide beneficiaries/shares and the executor
- Draft the Will (self or via lawyer)
- Sign before two witnesses who sign the attestation (now legally valid even if unregistered)
- Optional: enter pre-registration data on Kaveri (document type Will), choose SRO/slot, pay online
- Visit the SRO with the original Will, testator, both witnesses, ID originals and fitness certificate
- Registrar verifies; biometrics captured; wet-ink signatures; Will scanned and acknowledgement issued
- Collect the registered Will, typically in ~7–15 working days
Documents required in Karnataka
- The drafted Will on plain paper (no stamp paper; no stamp duty)
- Testator Aadhaar (mandatory) + PAN and two passport photos
- Two witnesses' Aadhaar/PAN/ID and two passport photos each (physical presence mandatory)
- Address proof of testator
- Medical fitness certificate from a doctor (often insisted upon for elderly testators)
- Property documents (optional, for reference)
Good to know in Karnataka: Registration is optional but strongly advised; an unregistered, properly executed Will is still valid. A beneficiary should not be a witness. Practical friction: long SRO queues, Kannada forms and frequent fitness-certificate requests.

Will Drafting FAQs
Is a will valid without registration?
Yes — a will is legally valid if properly signed and witnessed, even without registration. Registration adds an extra layer of authenticity and makes it harder to challenge.
Can I update my will later?
Yes. You can revise your will any time through a fresh will or a codicil. We can help you update it as your circumstances change.
How many witnesses does a will need?
A will must be signed by the person making it in the presence of at least two witnesses, who also sign the document.
