Succession & Wills Advocate in Patna
Wills, succession certificates and family settlements, written so that they can be carried out without friction.
The Practice
Succession work is about recording what a person wants to happen to their property, and then making sure it happens. We draft Wills that are clear and hard to challenge, and we represent heirs and executors in the courts afterwards.
Where there is no Will, we advise heirs on their shares under the applicable personal law and obtain the certificates that banks, companies and registrars ask for.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a Will if my estate is small?
Yes. A Will avoids disputes among heirs whatever the size of the estate, and makes transfer of property much simpler.
Must a Will be registered?
Registration is optional, but it helps prove that the Will is genuine and makes it harder to challenge.
Is probate always required?
Not always. It depends on the testator’s religion and where the property is situated. We advise on this in each case.
What is a succession certificate used for?
It lets heirs collect debts and securities of the deceased, such as bank balances and shares.
Can an existing Will be changed?
Yes, by a codicil or a fresh Will, until the testator’s death.
