Under The Indian Trust Act "A trust can be created by deed, will or even word of mouth. However, trust of immovable property can be created only by non-testamentary instrument signed by author of trust and is registered, or by will of author. [section 5]". Thus, ‘will’ is not required to be registered, even if it pertains to immovable property.
