This query is : Resolved
I am a Singapore Permanent Resident (Green Card)& have recently made my will & registered it in Singapore as I have been living here for 24 years. Most of my assets in the will are located in India including a high value ancestral property. My sole beneficiary is my husband as we do not have any children. I want to know if my will regd here can be challenged in India? Any precautions I can take?

Dear Sir,
Registration of will is not mandatory and if will is duly registered outside India it will hold good.
Thanks & Regards,

WILL need not to be registered. but it should be abated.. witnesses has to support for it.
but since you have no child issues then who will challenge it madam?

Even though the will is registered it may have to be probated in Singapore on ur death as per local Laws. Probate is nothing but authentication of the will by court of competent jurisdiction in Singapore as genuine. In India only probated wills will be accepted by the authorities.
