What Is Inheritance Assistance for NRIs?

Inheritance Assistance for NRIs refers to legal and procedural support provided to Non-Resident Indians for managing inheritance matters related to assets located in India.

Since NRIs are based outside India, inheritance often involves remote documentation, legal compliance, and coordination with Indian authorities. Professional assistance helps ensure the process is completed correctly and in line with Indian laws.

When Do NRIs Need Inheritance Assistance

NRIs typically require inheritance assistance when they inherit property or financial assets in India and need to complete legal formalities from abroad.

This service is commonly required for:

Transfer of residential or commercial property in India
Handling ancestral or family property matters
Claiming bank accounts, deposits, or investments
Completing property mutation and record updates
Coordinating documentation through authorised representatives

Professional guidance helps reduce delays and procedural complexity.

What Inheritance Assistance for NRIs Covers

Inheritance assistance for NRIs focuses on completing legal and procedural requirements without the need for repeated travel to India.

The service may include:

Guidance on succession route (Will-based or legal heir–based)
Preparation and organisation of required documentation
Assistance with property mutation and ownership updates
Support for bank, investment, and financial asset transfers
Coordination with housing societies and institutions

Who Should Use This Service

This service is recommended for NRIs who have inherited assets in India and require professional support for legal transfer.

It is suitable for:

NRIs inheriting property from parents or relatives
NRIs who are legal heirs or beneficiaries under a Will
NRIs managing estate matters from outside India
NRIs requiring authorised representation within India

This ensures compliance without unnecessary physical presence.

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.
