Questions

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.
