About this template
What is this template?
This document is a sworn statement by two witnesses used to authenticate a will for late registration. It is not the will itself, but a supporting document for the Sub-Registrar to prove the testator was of sound mind and signed the instrument voluntarily.
When should you use it?
Use this when a will was not registered during the testator's lifetime and Indian law requires witness testimony for registration after death. Use a 'Deed of Revocation' instead if the intention is to cancel a will.
Who it's for
- witnesses to a will providing sworn testimony to a Sub-Registrar in India
- executors seeking to register a will after the testator has died
How long it runs and how it's signed
