Government fees for registering a will

The fee is set by each state and paid to the government at the office, not to WillJini. These are the current charges where we arrange registration.

Maharashtra (Mumbai, Pune)	Rs 100, plus Rs 20 a page for document handling	None
Delhi	Rs 600	None
Karnataka (Bengaluru)	Rs 200	None

Prefer it handled for you?

We book the office, prepare the papers and brief you before the appointment.

Common questions

Is registration needed for my will to be valid?

No. Your will is valid once it is signed and witnessed. Registering it adds an official government record your family can rely on later.

Which documents should I carry?

Your original signed will and photo ID. The office may also ask for the ID of the people who come with you; we send you the exact list.

How much does WillJini charge to arrange it?

We quote our fee on the first call, separately from the government charges above.

I availed of Willjini's POA vetting service. The onboarding and initial connect with the core team was facilitated and supported by Adv. Shweta Ma'am. Details of professional fees were communicated upfront. No hidden costs. Adv. Manisha Ma'am guided me initially, providing vital technical inputs for key decision making. That helped a lot in determing a course of action and appropriate solution for my unqiue requirements. Adv. Riddhi Ma'am helped with reviewing the initial POA draft that I had prepared. The vetting process was thorough and meticulous. A significantly overhauled draft was shared with me and subsequently finalized after taking my inputs and recommendations. I required additional inputs at the time of registration that was further supported by Adv. Manisha and Adv. Riddhi. The registration process was ultimately successful and the POA is ready for pickup. I am grateful to the entire Willjini team for their inputs, guidance and support.

I walked into their office without prior appointment and was attended by Mr.Devvrat Unadkat promptly. He explained with clarity the procedure for drafting a will and also handed over a checklist. 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.

I reached out to them because I needed a will drafted urgently for a house transfer, and I’m honestly so glad I chose them. The team really stepped up. Everything moved quickly and smoothly, but what I appreciated most was how well they communicated throughout the whole process. They kept me updated at every stage without me ever having to follow up. I told them I was in a rush, and they genuinely took that on board — no excuses, no delays, just solid work and a team effort. They got everything done on time and handled it all with care and professionalism. Really grateful for their help and would happily recommend them.

I am pleased to share my experience with Willjinni Service Trust. I have established two Family Private Trusts through Willjinni and found their team to be highly professional and supportive. They guided me through every step of the process, from the initial setup to the pre- and post-registration of the Trust Deeds. I strongly recommend Willjinni to anyone considering setting up a Family Trust. Thanks to Shweta, Sucheta, Srishti and Alpana for your support and assistance given through out the assignment .
