Protect your India assets for the people you love.
If you hold property, accounts or investments in India, a clear India-valid will is the difference between a smooth transfer and years of stress for your family. We draft it properly and guide succession, nominations and probate.

Why it matters
A foreign will can trap your India assets for years
Many NRIs assume their UK or US will covers their Indian assets. Technically it can — but enforcing a foreign will in India usually means ancillary probate and long, costly delays for the family. A separate, India-valid will for your Indian assets is far cleaner.
Without one, your assets pass under religion-based succession law — not necessarily as you'd have wished. And a bank nominee isn't an heir: they only hold the asset in trust. Getting the will, the nominations and the titles to line up is the whole game.
This is general information, not legal advice — your will is drafted and reviewed with a qualified professional. Estate division needs a value — see property valuation.

Key things to know
NRI wills & succession — the essentials
The points that decide whether your wishes actually hold.
A foreign will often isn't enough
A UK or US will can technically cover Indian assets, but enforcing it in India usually needs ancillary probate — slow and costly. A dedicated India will avoids that.
Nomination is not inheritance
A bank or demat nominee only holds the asset in trust for the legal heirs — it doesn't override your will or the succession law. Both must align.
No will means personal law decides
Die intestate and your assets pass by religion-based succession law (the Hindu Succession Act, Indian Succession Act, or Muslim personal law) — which may not match your wishes.
Probate may be mandatory
For wills covering immovable property in the Mumbai, Kolkata or Chennai jurisdictions, probate is compulsory. We handle it.
Keep it current
Review your will after major life or asset changes. We keep yours aligned with your India holdings.

NRI will & succession questions, answered
Do I need a separate will for my Indian assets?
Usually yes. Your foreign will can cover them in theory, but enforcing it in India often means ancillary probate and long delays. A dedicated India-valid will makes the transfer far smoother.
What happens if I die without a will?
Your Indian assets pass under religion-based succession law — the Hindu Succession Act, Indian Succession Act, or Muslim personal law — which may not match your wishes and can cause disputes.
Isn't a nominee the same as an heir?
No. A nominee simply holds the asset in trust for the rightful legal heirs. Your will (or the succession law) decides who actually inherits — so nominations and will must be aligned.
Is probate always required?
Not always, but for wills involving immovable property in the Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai jurisdictions it's mandatory. We guide the family through it wherever it's needed.
Can you do this while I'm abroad?
Yes — we draft and coordinate execution remotely, and guide your family through succession or probate in India when the time comes.
