Will Drafting in Pune: the process in Maharashtra
Registration and legal formalities are governed at the state level, so the exact law, portal and fees for Pune follow Maharashtra's rules. Here's how it works.
Governing law. Indian Succession Act, 1925 (esp. ss. 59, 63). Registration is optional under the Registration Act, 1908 before the Sub-Registrar (IGR Maharashtra). Wills are exempt from stamp duty.
How will drafting works in Maharashtra
- Inventory all assets, beneficiaries and the executor
- Draft the Will with clear bequests, executor and residuary clause
- Finalise the draft with the testator
- Execute: testator signs each page before two witnesses who attest
- Optional: book a Sub-Registrar appointment and pay the fee via GRAS
- Optional: testator and witnesses appear before the Sub-Registrar to register
- Store the original safely (optionally deposit in a sealed cover with the Registrar)
Documents required in Maharashtra
- Identity and address proof of the testator (Aadhaar/PAN/passport)
- Identity proof of the two witnesses
- Title documents of properties and asset statements being bequeathed
- Passport-size photographs (and of witnesses, for registration)
- Optional doctor's certificate of sound mind (recommended for elderly testators)
Good to know in Maharashtra: A Will need not be on stamp paper, registered or notarised to be valid — two witnesses and the testator's signature are the essentials. A beneficiary should not be a witness. The latest dated Will prevails. Probate is generally not mandatory in Maharashtra except in specified cases.

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.
