Will Drafting in Delhi: the process in Delhi
Registration and legal formalities are governed at the state level, so the exact law, portal and fees for Delhi follow Delhi's rules. Here's how it works.
Governing law. Indian Succession Act, 1925 (ss.59–90). Registration is optional and voluntary under s.18 of the Registration Act, 1908 — a Will need not be registered to be valid. If registered, it is done at the Sub-Registrar, Revenue Department, GNCTD.
How will drafting works in Delhi
- Take stock of assets and decide beneficiaries, shares and the executor
- Draft the Will (self-drafted or with a lawyer)
- Testator signs before two witnesses, who attest
- Optional: prepare for registration and book an appointment via NGDRS
- Optional: testator and two witnesses appear before the Sub-Registrar with IDs and photographs
- Optional: Sub-Registrar verifies, records and returns the registered Will
- Store the original safely and inform the executor
Documents required in Delhi
- Identity and address proof of the testator (Aadhaar / PAN / passport)
- Proof/details of the assets being bequeathed
- Identity proof of the two attesting witnesses
- Passport-size photographs of testator and witnesses (for registration)
- The drafted and signed Will
- For registration: appointment booking and presence of testator and two witnesses
Good to know in Delhi: Registration is not mandatory and an unregistered Will is valid if properly executed and attested, but registration adds authenticity. A Will can be revoked/amended by codicil any time. Witnesses should not be beneficiaries.

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.
