How to find will drafting age

Dear Sir,(s), There is will on which clearly we can see signature of the executor and paper quality both are old But drafting and evidence signatures looks new. Preservor of this will who took care for more than 12 years , ( what he is saying) took care this and sent to the one of the beneficiaries through registered post and this preservor is not available now. Will had all the valid. conditions. How can we know the genuiniy of this Will? Pl suggest if there is any procedure/ method to get clarity of time lag between executor signature and actually drafting and evidences signatures of this will Regards

Who relies on this Will, if the opposite party is not willing to believe this Will then the propounder becomes liable to prove the ?Will by filing a probate of Will.

The propounder would be called upon to show by satisfactory evidence that the will was signed by the testator, that the testator at the relevant time was in a sound and disposing state of mind, that he understood the nature and effect of the dispositions and put his signature to the document of his own free will.

If the respondent has any doubts about the genuineness of the Will then he can take suitable steps to disprove the will on the basis of the suspicions he raised and relies upon them to prove that this will is false or fabricated.
