Should everyone have a WILL ? |

There is an old saying "nothing is sure in life except death and taxes". Someday everyone will have to die. How it is going to effect the people in your family. A well drafted WILL ensures no conflicts between your next of kin or chosen beneficiaries.
Consider a example of a person who had a massive stroke, doctors have declared him brain dead and he is being kept alive on life support machines. Suppose he had previously told someone like his spouse that he did not want to be kept alive by extreme measures. However, another family member can not take the thought of him dying. Both family members love him & both want to do what is best however they disagree and end up causing great emotional distress to each other.
A will is an easier way of ensuring that your wishes are carried out in the event that something untoward happens.
I would request the legal experts in this forum to provide detailed information on how a will has to be prepared as per Indian legal framework :
- Whether a self drafted will on plain paper is good enough ?
- Or should a lawyer be consulted for the same ?
- Is it necessary to be prepared on stamp paper and registered/attested by any authority ?
- To whom/where should it be given / kept ?
- What precise points should be included to ensure clear understanding of how property is to be divided.
