Will Drafting in Chandigarh: the process in Chandigarh
Registration and legal formalities are governed at the state level, so the exact law, portal and fees for Chandigarh follow Chandigarh's rules. Here's how it works.
Governing law. Indian Succession Act, 1925 (ss.59–63; Muslims governed by personal law). Registration is optional under s.18 of the Registration Act, 1908 and may be done any time during life or after death. A Will bears NIL stamp duty. Administered by the Revenue Department, Chandigarh, through the Sub-Registrar.
How will drafting works in Chandigarh
- Inventory assets and decide beneficiaries and executor
- Draft the Will (self or via lawyer) in clear language
- Sign before two witnesses who attest in the testator's presence (this alone makes the Will valid)
- Optional: create an NGDRS Chandigarh account, book a Sub-Registrar appointment, enter document details and pay the fee online
- Appear in person at the Sub-Registrar office (Sector 17) with the original Will, both witnesses and ID/photos
- Sub-Registrar verifies and registers; the registered Will is returned / made available online
Documents required in Chandigarh
- Testator's ID/address proof (Aadhaar, PAN, passport)
- Two passport-size photos of the testator (for registration)
- Ownership/title documents of properties listed (for description; not surrendered)
- Two witnesses with their ID proofs
- For registration: the executed/signed Will plus NGDRS appointment confirmation
- Optional but recommended: doctor's certificate of sound mind
Good to know in Chandigarh: Registration is optional; a properly attested unregistered Will is fully valid. A Will can be revoked or replaced any number of times and the latest valid Will prevails. Witnesses should ideally not be beneficiaries. Probate is generally not mandatory in Chandigarh, though banks/registries may request probate or a succession certificate.

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.
