In a Will, a person (Testator) states that after his death how his self-acquired movable and immovable property or part which he owns in the ancestral property gets distributed.

Stamp Duty – No Stamp Duty is Required for the Will.

Registration or Notarization –

Registration is not compulsory but if it is registered, it will surely minimize the chances of a dispute between the Legal Heirs.
