Will requires specific clauses to address unique needs and legal requirements
01

Pick Your WILL

PRIVILEGED WILLS

The Act relates to the execution of privileged wills or oral wills. It is not applicable to Hindus. This type of will can be exclusively used by a soldier employed in an expedition or engaged in actual warfare, or an airman so employed and engaged or a mariner at sea.

02

DECODE UNPRIVILEGED WILLS TYPE

UNPRIVILEGED WILLS

Unprivileged will can be made by anyone other than those permitted to make a privileged will. The person writing the will must be of sound mind and have reached their age of maturity. Otherwise a will cannot be carried out. Because a will is nothing more than a legal declaration.

WILL PROCESS
Growthify’s IT-powered platform transforms into a fast, client-centric process, replacing lengthy traditional methods.
1. Gather Details

We collect essential information through an intuitive online/offline questionnaire designed to capture all critical details for your will. This includes the testator’s personal information, details of beneficiaries, names of heirs, specific instructions for asset distribution, and any special wishes or conditions. By gathering accurate and comprehensive data upfront, we ensure precision in drafting your will and minimize the need for revisions, making the process smooth and efficient.

2. Draft the WILL

Our team drafts and customizes your will based on the information you provide. For example, a will distributing a family home might specify the property's details and clearly name the beneficiary who will inherit it. We also recommend including important clauses, such as appointing an executor and outlining conditions for specific bequests, to ensure clarity, legal compliance, and that your wishes are properly fulfilled.

3. Compliance Check

Our legal team reviews the will draft to ensure full compliance with local regulations, including the Indian Succession Act. We carefully check for essential legal requirements, such as the presence of proper witnessing clauses and the testator’s signature, to ensure the will is valid and enforceable under the law.

4. Notarization and Registration (If Required)

While notarization is not always mandatory for a will, Growthify assists with notarization when required to enhance authenticity. Additionally, we guide you through the will registration process under the Indian Succession Act, ensuring your will is duly registered with the appropriate authority to maximize its legal validity and ease of enforcement.

5. Deliver the Final Will

After thorough review, notarization, and registration (if applicable), we deliver the finalized will physically or digitally, ready for your safekeeping. Clients can review the final document and provide feedback in real-time to ensure it fully reflects their wishes before execution.

This process saves up to 80% of the traditional time required for will drafting and registration. A client can create a legally compliant will in hours, avoiding days or weeks of coordination with lawyers and courts. Growthify serves individuals and families of all sizes.

Common Questions on WILL
WILL vary by purpose, each requiring specific content to meet legal requirements.
Essential Clauses of a Will Deed
WILL vary by purpose, each requiring specific content to meet legal requirements.

01

Testator and Declaration

The will deed commences with the full name, age, address, and occupation of the testator, the person making the will, followed by a solemn declaration that they are of sound mind, free from coercion, and revoke all prior wills or codicils. This opening establishes the document’s validity and the testator’s intent at the time of execution.

02

Appointment of Executor

A trusted individual or institution is named as executor, granted authority to administer the estate, pay debts, and distribute assets according to the will. Alternate executors are listed in case the primary appointee predeases or declines, with powers to sell property, settle claims, or invest funds during probate if needed.

03

Funeral and Burial Directions

The testator may express preferences for cremation, burial location, religious rites, or organ donation. While not legally binding in every jurisdiction, these instructions guide the executor and family, often kept simple to avoid disputes.

04

Revocation of Previous Wills

A clear clause cancels all earlier wills, codicils, or testamentary dispositions, ensuring the current document stands alone. This prevents confusion if old documents surface after death.

05

Specific Legacies and Bequests

Tangible or monetary gifts are detailed first: cash sums, jewelry, vehicles, or heirlooms to named beneficiaries (individuals, charities, or trusts). Each gift is described precisely such as bank account details, policy numbers, or item locations, with alternate beneficiaries if the primary legatee predeases.

06

Residuary Estate

After specific gifts, debts, taxes, and expenses, the remaining estate such as real estate, investments, business interests, passes to residuary beneficiaries. Proportions (equal shares, percentages) are stated, with contingency for simultaneous death (survivorship clause of 30–90 days) to avoid double probate.

07

Guardianship for Minors

If the testator has children under legal age, a guardian (and alternate) is appointed to care for them until majority. A separate children’s trust may hold inheritance until age 21 or 25, with trustees named to manage funds for education, maintenance, and welfare.

08

Trusts and Conditions

The will may create testamentary trusts: for spendthrift heirs, disabled beneficiaries, or staggered payouts (e.g., 1/3 at 25, 1/3 at 30, balance at 35). Conditions like marrying within a faith or achieving milestones are permitted but must not violate public policy.
