sir,
My father wants to register his WILL in tamilnadu now my question is how much stamp duty and registration charges are to be paid for getting the Will registered.I belong to chennai I have another doubt should the WILL be registered within the jurisdiction we belong I.e we belong to sro kunrathur in chennai.please clarify
Registration of Will is optional as per the Law.However, registration of the same is suggestable to aviod future litigaation.The Will is generally registered in the territorial jurisdiction of Sub-Registrar office, where the said Immovable property is situated.
The stamp duty information can be obtained from Stamps and registration dept of your state.
Note: Will comes into effect only on demise of testator and testator can make any number of Wills but only the last will before the demise shall only prevail.

A Will registration is optional. A will after execution by the Testator, may be registered at any place but preferable where the executor is residing. A will does not require stamp duty. A will be should be attested by two witnesese and scribe. If the testator he himself may draft will with his own hand writing.
