Put it in writing. Properly, this time.
WillEasy drafts a will that meets the Indian Succession Act, 1925 — reviewed by a practising advocate at Candour Legal, not assembled by a template engine alone. And when the time comes, the same team can see your family through registration, succession certificates and probate.
Built around the actual law, not a generic template.
What people say once the will is signed and put away.
“I'd been putting it off for years. The questions were in plain English, and an actual advocate came back with two things I'd have got wrong.”
“What sold me was that they book the Sub-Registrar appointment. Every other site just hands you a PDF and wishes you luck.”
“I'm an NRI in Dubai with property in India. They coordinated the India will with my UAE one and flagged a nominee clash I hadn't spotted.”
“When my father passed, the same team that reviewed his will handled the succession certificate. Everything was already on file.”
Illustrative examples for layout — to be replaced with verified client reviews before launch.
Three steps. One of them happens without you noticing.
Drafting is the part software can do well. Execution and, eventually, administration are the parts that actually need a lawyer in the loop — so that's where we stay involved.
Draft
Answer plain-language questions about your family, assets and wishes. No legal jargon required — WillEasy applies the correct rules automatically, including the one-third bequest limit under Muslim personal law where relevant.
Execute & keep
Print, sign, and have two independent witnesses watch you sign — Indian law doesn't yet recognise e-wills, so this step stays on paper by design. Register it at the Sub-Registrar with our help if you'd like, then store it in your vault.
We arrange the Sub-Registrar appointment. Nobody else in this market does.
When it's needed
Your executor can retain the same advocate for a succession certificate, letters of administration, or probate — with your original will, asset list and witness details already on file.
Everything from the first draft to the final transfer.
Most platforms stop at the PDF. We built this because the document was never the hard part. The execution, and the estate that follows, are.

Priced so the will is the easy part.
The document is deliberately affordable. The work that matters most — registration and everything after — is where we spend the effort.

Estate Vault (annual)
Secure custody of your will, life-event review nudges, and a nominee-vs-will conflict check.
Execution retainer
Succession certificate, letters of administration, or probate — flat fee plus court costs, or ad valorem for larger estates.
A template gets you a document. A reviewed will is built to survive a challenge.
Indian courts set aside wills for reasons that have nothing to do with formatting: unbriefed witnesses, beneficiaries who signed as witnesses, or no one left who can explain the circumstances of signing. That's the part a PDF generator can't fix.
Template-only tools
- Hand you a document and a witness instruction sheet
- Leave registration logistics to you
- No one to call if the will is ever contested
- Nominee-vs-will conflicts go unflagged
WillEasy
- An advocate reviews the will before it's final
- We help book and attend the Sub-Registrar appointment
- The same advocate can appear if it's later challenged
- We check your will against your nominee filings
There's a practising advocate behind every reviewed will.

Straight answers, not disclaimers.
Is it mandatory to register my will in India?
No. The Registration Act, 1908 lists will registration as optional. Registering it at the Sub-Registrar adds a layer of safekeeping and can support your case if the will is later questioned, but registration alone doesn't protect it from being challenged on other grounds.
Can I sign my will electronically?
Not yet. Indian law doesn't currently recognise e-wills — the IT Act specifically excludes wills from electronic execution. You can draft it on WillEasy, but you'll still need to print it, sign it by hand, and have two independent witnesses watch you sign.
Is probate mandatory in India?
It used to be, for certain wills executed in Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata. A 2025 amendment removed that requirement across the board. In practice, some banks and land registries still ask for probate out of habit rather than legal obligation — we can tell you which applies to your situation.
My accounts have a nominee — do I still need a will?
Yes. The Supreme Court has held that a nominee is only a custodian of the asset, not its owner — your will (or the intestate succession rules, if there isn't one) still decides who actually inherits it.
Can Muslims use WillEasy?
Yes — the platform applies Muslim personal law rather than the Indian Succession Act where relevant, including the rule that a testator can only bequeath up to one-third of the estate without the consent of all legal heirs.
What happens if my will is contested after I'm gone?
Your executor can retain the advocate who reviewed the original will for succession certificate, letters of administration, or probate proceedings — with the signing details and witnesses already on record.
Draft it this week. Not someday.
Twenty minutes now is the whole difference between a plan and a guess for whoever's left to sort it out.
