How much time does it take to register a will in Bangalore?

Creating a will is a crucial step in ensuring that your assets are distributed according to your wishes after your demise. However, the process doesn’t end with drafting the will. Registering the will adds an extra layer of validity and can help prevent disputes among heirs. If you’re in Bangalore and wondering how long it takes to register a will, this blog will guide you through the timelines.

Time Taken to Register a WILL in Bangalore:

The time taken to register a will in Bangalore can vary depending on several factors including the complexity of your assets. Here is the detailed breakdown of the process and the time involved at each stage

Drafting Time:

  • The first step is drafting the will, which can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the complexity of your assets and the clarity of your instructions. For instance, if you own multiple properties, investments, or businesses, the drafting process may take longer to ensure all details are accurately captured.

Timeframe: ~1 to 2 weeks

Application and Approval Time:

Once the WILL is drafted, the next step is to submit the registration application, the process is relatively simple mainly because of limited documentation, the documents required are:

  • WILL Draft
  • ID Proofs of the testator (person making the will) and witnesses

If the will includes immovable property, there is no need to prove the title documents for verification such as the parent deed, sale deed, ekhata, and tax payment, hence making the process even simpler

Process:

  • The entire application process is online
  • Enter the details of the applicant and two witnesses, including name, age, gender, contact number, and address
  • Upload the WILL draft and ID proofs. Most likely the application will be approved within a day
  • Pay the fee and book the registration slot

Timeframe: ~1 day

Registration Time:

As per your registration slot, visit the sub-registrar’s office with a printed WILL (to be registered) and two witnesses

The actual registration process is usually completed within 5–10 minutes. However, staff at the sub-registrar’s office may take around 30–45 minutes to stamp, sign, and scan the WILL document after the actual registration. You can consider the overall time of approximately one hour.

Timeframe: ~1 hour

Real-Life Example:

In a recent case, we helped a client register their will in Bangalore. Here is the time frame of our execution

  • Drafting the WILL: 5 days
  • Application submission and approval: 1 day
  • Registration at the sub-registrar office: approximately 45 minutes (including stamp, sign, and scanning)

The entire process, from drafting to registration, was completed within a week. Refer to our below registered WILL

Conclusion

Registering a will in Bangalore is a straightforward process that can typically be completed within an hour, provided you have the draft and ID proof. While the process is simple and easy, it’s a small investment of time and effort to ensure that your wishes are honored and your loved ones are protected from potential legal disputes.

How do you get a copy of registered will in Bangalore?

A Registered Will is a crucial legal document that ensures the smooth transfer of assets and properties to beneficiaries after the testator’s demise. In Bangalore, as in the rest of India, registering a Will adds an extra layer of authenticity and legal validity. However, there may be situations where you need to obtain a copy of a registered Will, either for verification, legal proceedings, or personal records. If you’re wondering how to get a copy of a registered Will in Bangalore, this guide will walk you through the process.

Why is a Registered Will Important?

A registered Will is a legal document that has been formally recorded with the Sub-Registrar’s office. Registration provides:

  • Legal Validity: It reduces the chances of disputes among beneficiaries.
  • Authenticity: It serves as proof that the Will was executed voluntarily and without coercion.
  • Public Record: Once registered, the Will becomes part of the public record, making it easier to retrieve when needed.

Who Can Obtain a Copy of a Registered Will?

Only specific individuals are legally entitled to access a registered Will:

  • The Testator: The person who created the Will can access it at any time.
  • Legal Heirs or Beneficiaries: After the testator’s demise, the beneficiaries or legal heirs can request a copy.
  • Authorized Representatives: Individuals with a legal power of attorney or court order may also access the Will.

Step-by-Step Process to Obtain a Copy of a Registered Will in Bangalore

Step 1: Gather Required Documents

  • Before initiating the process, ensure you have the following documents ready:
  • Death certificate of the testator (if applicable).
  • Proof of relationship with the testator (birth certificate, family tree certificate, etc.).
  • Details of the Will, such as the registration number and date of registration.

Step 2: Visit the Sub-Registrar’s Office

The registered Will is stored at the Sub-Registrar’s office where it was originally registered. Locate the relevant office in Bangalore based on the area where the Will was registered.

Step 3: Submit an Application

Submit a formal application requesting a copy of the Will. The application should include:

  • Your name and contact details.
  • Details of the testator (name, date of death, etc.).
  • Registration details of the Will.
  • Reason for requesting the copy.

Step 4: Pay the Required Fees

A nominal fee is charged for obtaining a copy of the Will. The fee may vary depending on the number of pages

Step 5: Verification Process

The Sub-Registrar’s office will verify your identity and eligibility to access the Will. This may involve cross-checking the provided documents and details.

Step 6: Receive the Copy

Once the verification is complete, you will be provided with a certified copy of the registered Will. This copy holds legal validity and can be used for legal or personal purposes.

We recently got a certified copy of the register WILL for our client. Our will was registered in RR Nagar sub-registrar office, Bangalore. We carried the photocopy of testator aadhar to RR Nagar sub-registrar office, filled out the certified copy application, and paid the required fee. (Rs. 450)
