Will ?

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 25 July 2010 This query is : Resolved 
A will executed by a bachelor be revoked automatically if he get marriage?
Devajyoti Barman (Expert) 25 July 2010
Will once executed by the testator gets altered , modified or cancelled only by himself and not by any other means unless the subject matter of the Will is not available for execution when the Will opens for acting upon.

i was told that if a bachelor writes a will and if he/she decides to marry, then on the date of marriage the will is automatically revoked

Dear Anonymous,

The marital status of an individual has nothing to do with the revocation of his will as marriage cannot be a ground for revocation of will.

Best Regards

Yes, the legality of will would emanate only after the death of the testator as marriage will not alter the status of the testator
s.subramanian (Expert) 27 July 2010

under Indian succession Act, there is a bar as the will is invalid if the testator decides to marry
