Will Drafting in Bhubaneswar: the process in Odisha
Registration and legal formalities are governed at the state level, so the exact law, portal and fees for Bhubaneswar follow Odisha's rules. Here's how it works.
Governing law. Indian Succession Act, 1925. Registration of a Will is optional under the Registration Act, 1908, administered by IGR Odisha and the Sub-Registrars. No stamp duty on a Will.
How will drafting works in Odisha
- List assets and beneficiaries and decide the distribution and executor
- Draft the Will (self, advocate or using the IGR/R&DM model template)
- Execute the Will: testator signs before two witnesses who attest
- Optional registration: pay the nominal fee / e-stamp via IGR Odisha
- Optional: present the Will in person before the Sub-Registrar with the two witnesses
- Sub-Registrar registers the Will and returns it with the endorsement
Documents required in Odisha
- Identity and address proof of the testator (Aadhaar/PAN/Voter ID)
- Photographs of the testator
- Identity proof of the two attesting witnesses
- Property documents / title deeds (recommended)
- Medical/doctor's certificate of sound mind (optional, recommended for elderly testators)
- For registration: the executed Will and copies for presentation
Good to know in Odisha: A Will is valid in Odisha without registration if properly executed and attested; registration adds evidentiary value and safe custody. A Will can be revoked or replaced any time. Confirm the current registration fee on IGR Odisha.

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.
