Registration of will is optional under section 18 of the Registration Act. Some people still get it registered. This is probably out of the apprehension of the testator or his executor that the Will might be lost or destroyed or to prevent the possibility of any attempt to set up false or bogus Will. A Will can be registered in the same manner as any other document.
A will can be registered in any office of the Sub Registrar in India. For registration of will during the life time of the testator Rs.200-00 Registration fee prescribed. To register the will after the death of the testator Registration fee of Rs.200-00 and enquiry fee of Rs.250-00 is prescribed. There is no time limit for registration of wills.
