Fake will

Hi! this is Adv. Rohit from Mumbai. If you are sure that the signature on the will is not same then you have to file a case in the court for challanging the same.

Incase you require any legal assistance you may call on 9324538481

Since the will is registered and executed in presence of Sub Registrar it carries with it a presumption of genuinity of execution (i.e signing). It still is no guarantee of free consent and having been done under a fit frame of mind. It can be assailed on the ground of being executed undue undue influence. 

There are two attesting witnesses to a will. One is coolie - who is the other one ? 

A will becomes void if  the making of which has been caused by faud or coercion or by such importunity. Section 61 of Indian Succession Act, 1925.

how can we verify the signature? it seems the entire resposibility is on the plaintiff to prove it. Can't they argue that the signature of a dying person need not be as accurate as his actual signature? Can I get the help of a private handwriting expert before approaching a court?

Dear Santosh,

You can match the signature of your father from any old documents you must be haing in your possession. Further, prima facie if it can be seen that  the signature differs i.e. if anyone can make out with the naked eye. then it will be valid ground to challange. Also  the present circumstances of this case i.e. a coolie as a witness creates doubt about the genuineness of the will.
