How much time will WillJini save you?
Getting a will done on your own can take 40+ hours spread over weeks: reading up on the law, drafting and redrafting, then getting bounced between government offices, portals and agents to register the will. With WillJini, a lawyer and our team take the legal work, the drafting and the booking off your hands.
Not sure which will is right for your family?
Tell us who you want to provide for and what you own, and a WillJini lawyer will suggest the will that fits.
How does a WillJini lawyer create your will?
For a Customized, Mirror or Joint Will, a WillJini lawyer takes your instructions on a video or audio call, drafts the will, and revises it with you before you sign.
Tell us about your family and what you own
Your lawyer asks who you want to provide for, what you own and where it is, and whether anything needs special care. The calls are by video or audio, so you can work with your lawyer from anywhere in India.
Your lawyer drafts the will
The draft sets out who receives what, who carries out the will as your executor, and what happens if someone named in it dies before you.
You review the draft with your lawyer
Your lawyer goes through the draft with you in feedback sessions and makes the changes you ask for.
You sign it in front of two witnesses
We explain the signing rules first. Then you sign the will, your two witnesses sign it while you are present, and the will is complete. If you also want it registered, our registration service fixes the appointment for you.
Can WillJini make a will for parents who live in another city?
Yes. WillJini drafts wills for families all over India, and the lawyer works with your parents by video or audio call, so they do not have to travel or find a lawyer in their own city.
You do not need a lawyer in your parents’ city, because a will does not have to be drafted where they live. WillJini is a national team with a presence in every major Indian city, headquartered in Mumbai, has served more than 20,000 families since 2014, and gives your parents one point of contact from start to finish.
Can I make a will without a lawyer in India?
Yes. The law does not require a lawyer, and any adult of sound mind can write a will, sign it and have two witnesses sign it.
Have a WillJini lawyer draft your will when it has to deal with more than a simple division, such as property in more than one state, a family business, children from more than one marriage, or a dependant who needs support for life. The Online Will lets you make a straightforward will yourself. Talk to a WillJini will lawyer.
Is a will made online legal in India?
A will made online is legal in India once it is printed and signed on paper by you and two witnesses.
An electronic signature cannot make a will valid. You can print the will on plain paper, because a will does not need stamp paper.
Do you need to register a will?
Registration is optional, and it is worth doing. A registered will goes into the government’s register of wills, and after your death your family can get a copy of it from that office, signed and sealed and admissible in court as proof of what your will said.
WillJini’s registration service costs Rs 9,999 plus GST, and the government fee for your state is paid separately. We find the office, tell you what to bring and fix the appointment. How will registration works.
Who can be a witness to your will?
Any two adults can witness your will, but choose people who receive nothing under it, because for some wills a gift to a witness is void.
The witnesses do not need to read the will or know what it says. Each witness signs the will in your presence, following the steps your WillJini lawyer gives you.

Diwali offer prices end 8 NovemberCommon questions
What documents do I need to make a will?
You need your identity proof, the names of the people you want to leave your assets to, and the details of what you own, such as property papers, bank and investment accounts and insurance policies. On the first call, your WillJini lawyer tells you which of these your will needs.
What is the cheapest or easiest way to make a will?
Writing the will yourself on plain paper costs nothing, and the will is valid once you and two witnesses have signed it. For a guided route, WillJini’s Online Will at Rs 7,499 plus GST takes you through each question and gives you a draft to print and sign.
Is a handwritten will, or a will on plain paper, valid?
Yes. A handwritten or typed will on plain paper is valid, as long as you sign it and two witnesses attest it.
Does a will need to be notarised?
No. You and your two witnesses must sign the will, and it does not need a notary.
Can I change my will later?
Yes. You can make a new will that replaces the old one, or add a codicil, which is signed and witnessed the same way as the will.
What happens if I die without a will?
Your property goes to your legal heirs under the succession law that applies to you. A will lets you decide who receives what and who carries out your wishes.
Is a gift deed better than a will?
A gift deed, which is charged stamp duty, suits you if you want to hand over property while you are alive. A will takes effect only on your death, and until then you can change it.
Do I need a will or a family trust?
Most families need only a will, and our family trust page explains when a private family trust is the better choice.

What families say
I was assigned a team comprising a Advocate Alpana Rathi and Sucheta Bajaj. From the first meeting with Mr.Devvrat to drafting the will through whatsapp and email by Advocate Alpana and completing the registration formalities by Ms.Sucheta everything went smoothly. The whole team was efficient and professional and with their expertise I am relieved of finalizing and registering the will.
I would highly recommend to my family and friends.
Overall I was very happy from start to end.
The best part is that you respected our time and managed to get appointment ASAP and made the whole process stress free for us.
We will surely work with your company again and will definitely recommend to others.
