Will executor, witnesses and registration

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 01 February 2012 This query is : Resolved
Request advise on the following:

Who can be the executor to the will? Can a son/daughter of the sole beneficiary be the executor?

Who can be the witnesses to the will?

Is it necessary to make a will on a stamp paper? If yes, what should be the value of stamp paper?

Is it necessary to register the will? If yes how?

Thanks,

it is not necessary that will should be on stamp paper . it can be hand written on plain piece of paper too .

registration is optional . you need 2 witness to the will . the testator should sign the will in the presence of 2 witnesses .
testaor can appoint any one he so desires to be his executor .
better get will drafted by lawyer to avoid legal complications
