Will and Probate

Will and Probate Services at Astrea Legal Associates

A Will is an important legal document that outlines how an individual’s assets—both movable and immovable properties—should be distributed after their death. While creating a Will is a straightforward process, problems may arise, particularly if the document is disputed. A probate is the legal process that validates a Will, ensuring that the deceased’s wishes are properly executed. However, if the Will is contested or if a person dies intestate (without a Will), it can lead to complex legal disputes and delays in property transfer.

At Astrea Legal  we provide  assistance in creating testamentary documents and probate matters to ensure that your wishes are respected after your death, and your property is distributed according to the law.

Our Expertise:

• Will Creation and Drafting: We guide  in drafting a legally valid Will, ensuring that it complies with all legal requirements and clearly outlines the distribution of your assets. Our team helps anticipate and resolve any potential issues that may arise after the death of the testator.
• Probate Process: We assist executors and legal heirs in the probate process, making sure the Will is validly executed, and the estate is properly administered. We represent clients before courts to obtain the necessary Probate Order, enabling smooth property transfer.
• Disputes Over Wills: In case of a disputed Will, we provide representation and legal advice to resolve the matter efficiently. Whether challenging the validity of a Will or defending its legitimacy, our experienced legal professionals will guide you through the complexities of probate litigation.
• Intestate Succession: In the event someone dies intestate (without a valid Will), we assist the legal heirs in determining the rightful distribution of the deceased’s property in accordance with the Indian Succession Act or personal laws applicable to the deceased (e.g., Hindu Succession Act, Muslim Law, etc.).

Legal Requirements for Making a Will:

• Competence: The testator (the person making the Will) must be of sound mind, not a minor, and must be acting freely, without fraud, coercion, or undue influence.
• Execution: The Will must be executed in accordance with the relevant laws. Typically, it requires the testator’s signature and the signature of at least two witnesses to make it valid.
