About our service:

My client, the Testator lives with her son in Australia. Since the testator is aging old, she wants to make WILL.

Although WILL is not mandatory to register, testator traveled from Australia to Bangalore to register the WILL in sub-registrar. The Testator wanted to register WILL because she wanted to avoid complications in the distribution of assert after the demise.
