Suchitra. S (Advocate)     08 June 2010

Testator - A person who has made legally valid will before his death.

Successor - legal heir of a deceased person.

A Hindu person cannot appoint a successor. It is decided by law. But a testator can appoint a successor as an administrator.

yes i also agree with suchitra .s

kranthi (retainer advocate)     17 June 2010

suchitra said correctly

JAGDISH LAL (Practising Advocate)     11 August 2010

No a hindu male cannot  appoint successor contrary to provisions of Hindu Succession Act.  But in case of self acquired properties a male hindu is fully free to appoint anyone as his successor
