Protect everything you've worked so hard to build.

A Will is a legal document that explains how your assets should be distributed after your lifetime. It also lets you appoint beneficiaries, an executor, and record your final wishes.

An Online Will is a Will created through a guided digital process instead of drafting it manually or through repeated lawyer meetings. Once signed and witnessed correctly, it has the same legal validity under Indian law.

Yes. Most people with straightforward estate planning needs do not need a lawyer to create a legally valid Will. Kustodian guides you through the process with simple questions and expert-designed workflows.

Most people complete their Will in around 10 minutes.

You typically need:

• Basic personal details
• Beneficiary details
• List of major assets
• Executor details
• Any special wishes you'd like to include

Creating a Will is recommended if you:

• Own property
• Have savings or investments
• Are married
• Have children
• Own a business
• Want to decide how your assets are distributed

Yes. A Will created online is legally valid under the Indian Succession Act, 1925, provided it is properly signed by the testator and witnessed by two independent witnesses.

No. Registration is optional in India. An unregistered Will is legally valid if executed correctly.

Yes. Your Will should be signed in the presence of two independent adult witnesses. They should not normally be beneficiaries under the Will.

Yes. A Will can be updated whenever your circumstances or wishes change.

Review your Will whenever there is a significant life event, such as:

• Marriage or divorce
• Birth of children
• Buying or selling property
• Major investments
• Starting or selling a business
• Changes in beneficiaries or executors

Your Will can include:

• Property and land
• Bank accounts
• Fixed deposits
• Mutual funds
• Shares and securities
• EPF & PPF
• Insurance policies
• Gold and jewellery
• Vehicles
• Business ownership
• Digital assets
• Personal belongings

Estate planning is the process of organising your assets and documenting your wishes so your wealth is transferred according to your intentions.

If you pass away without a Will, your assets are distributed according to the applicable succession laws rather than your personal wishes. This can make the settlement process longer and more complex for your family.

The Testator is the person creating the Will.

A Beneficiary is the person or organisation that receives assets through your Will.

An Executor is the person you appoint to carry out the instructions in your Will.

A nominee is authorised to receive assets from an institution, while a beneficiary is legally entitled to inherit assets under your Will. The two are not always the same person.

Probate is the legal process through which a court validates a Will in certain situations. Whether probate is required depends on the nature of the assets and applicable laws.
