I grew up watching hardcore hindi serials with my mother and the most common plot twists in all of them was the will. After the death of some important and wealthy person, antis would take over until one fine day, a lawyer would appear with the hero declaring that the important person left a will with them. I had no idea what it was. But I found it really interesting. Anyway, I am finally equipped with the knowledge around what is will in law. I will explain it to you in a non-dramatic fashion.

Will Definition Law

The will definition in law states that it is a document which declares the distribution of the assets, shares and liabilities belonging to the dead person as per his/her wishes. These wishes are documented and are legal in nature. 

What are the particulars of a will?

Now that you know what is a will in Indian law, let us take a look at what are the particulars mentioned in a will.

  • Details of the testator, i.e., the details of the person who is making the will

  • A legal declaration stating that the will is legal and made in sound mind

  • Intention of the testator 

  • Particulars about the distribution of assets and responsibilities of liabilities

  • Details of the beneficiaries of the will

  • Guardian details in case of minors

  • Details of the will executor

  • Date and signature of the testator

I hope now you know what is will in Indian law.
