Though registration of Will is an optional legal formality, your Will can be contested even after that but it has certain advantages. Registration acts as a precautionary measure towards the reliability and trustworthiness of a Will. A Will can be registered in these 5 easy steps:

- Firstly, the testator will have to visit the Sub-Registrar’s office in the area where he/she resides. The personal appearance of the testator in front of a government official augments the reliability of the Will.
- Because the Will is of delicate nature and there are always some privacy/security reasons, it is not required to be registered instantly, it can be done anytime. Hence there is no limitation period, there is no fixed time.
- Then the Registrar will carefully examine the document and ensures that there are no legal errors in the Will and has all the necessary essentials fulfilled before registering it.
- After the scrutiny, a date is fixed at the Sub-Registrar’s office for registration. A nominal registration fees is paid which is different in every state as the State government decides such fees.
- The testator shall make sure that he go along with minimum two attesting witnesses to the office of Sub-Registrar. After this whole process, the registered copy of the Will can be collected after 1 week.
