Will / Testament

Also called: Last Will, Testament

Document by which a person bequeathes property after their death.


What it is

When property passes by inheritance under a will rather than intestate succession, the will is the source document. May or may not be registered; once probated by a court, it has stronger evidentiary value.

Who issues it

Executed by the testator; optionally registered at the SRO; optionally probated by a court.

Where to obtain

Executor / heirs; SRO if registered; court records if probated.

Validity

Operative on the death of the testator; revocable until then.

What to check

  • Testator's name and identification
  • Execution date and witnesses
  • Whether registered or only attested
  • Whether probated by a court
  • Beneficiaries and what each receives
  • Whether the seller's claim flows from this will

Common red flags on a Will / Testament

  • Will not registered or probated — heirs may contest
  • Multiple wills with conflicting bequests
  • Will allegedly executed under coercion or without capacity
  • Will doesn't account for all legal heirs (omitted heir risk)

How PropertyRisk handles Will / Testament

PropertyRisk extracts every field from your uploaded Will / Testament using multilingual OCR (English, Kannada, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu) and a Karnataka-specific schema for this document type. Each finding cites the exact page and clause it came from in the original document.

On every case where this document is uploaded, PropertyRisk reconciles its contents against the rest of the document chain — sale deeds, RTC, mutation extracts, khata — and against live government portal records to surface inconsistencies a non-expert would miss.
