My mother wants to make two separate wills for two properties. One property is a site allotted to her by a urban development authority and the sale deed is executed in her name. other property is inherited by her through a will executed by my father in her favour. My query is:

(a) can my mother execute two separate wills for the two properties which are situated in the same city in India?

PLEASE ANSWER MY QUERY AT THE EARLIEST.

To avoid legal discripencies, only 'will' should be executed. She may register the same in the office of Sub-Registrar. cerified copies are admissible in evidence.

NO problem. A person can write as many wills as he wishes. Regarding your mothers property through urban development dept pleace check is there any condition for alienation there may be a covent for time limit within which one can not transfer the property acquired through govt departments. lik MAHAD HUDCO OTHER STATE HOUSING BOARDS.

Only one will bequeathing both the properties to any person is sufficient. What is the reason for the demarcation. She is woman and her rights can be bequesthed in one will itself. O

One more thing to be biorne in mind. The last will will previal over the earlier will. In such a sitauation, if both properties are not covered, then the first property bequeathed will not be transfer by will. Better make one will.

Dear Madison,

In My Views a person can only have one official Will; if more than one will is made, the latest Will is generally taken to be the official last Will of the deceased. The probate court is the ultimate authority on which Will is the last Will of the deceased.
