Why should I make a Will?
A Will helps in avoiding any lengthy processes and delays in the distribution of your assets. Having a Will eases the way for nominees/legal heirs to get easier access to the assets of the Testator (i.e. Will writer). Some other benefits of writing a Will are:

1. You can specify who gets your assets
2. You can keep your assets out of the hands of people you don't want to have them
3. You can identify who should care for your minor children by appointing a legal guardian for them.
4. Leaving a legacy is a good reason to write a Will. You can donate to Charities that you care about
5. Organ donation is an opportunity to help others, you can donate your organs via Will.
But I'm not rich, do I still need to write a Will?
Yes, you should write a Will because Will writing or estate planning is not only for rich people. Here are the reasons to write a Will even if you are not rich:

1. Not every person will have a portfolio of properties or millions of pounds to leave behind, but just about everybody will have accumulated some beloved sentimental possessions over the course of their life
2. Whether it’s a special watch, heirloom jewellery, or an old family photograph, a Will allows you to set out in writing what happens to your treasured belongings after your passing
3. After creation of a business succession plan, your small business will continue to remain viable
4. Naming a guardian for your children and pets can also be done through Will
5. Organ donation via Will makes it easier for your family to support your wishes. 
Who should make a Will and what is the right age to make a Will?
We can say the right age to write a Will is whatever age you have started acquiring assets of value or dependents in your care. One should be above 18 years and of sound mind as a legal requirement. 

If one takes insurance at a young age to provide financial support to the family in case of untimely death, why not make a Will which is an instruction in writing to the family on how to distribute insurance claims or other properties / assets’. Hence everyone should make a Will at any age above 18 years.
Why should you not wait till old age to make a Will?
In today’s world of uncertainty where untimely death due to accidents, heart ailments, terror attacks are becoming ‘a way of life’ which is also why many people take insurance at a young age of 25 or earlier. You should make a Will soon after attaining 18 years of age and owning even a single asset like a flat or insurance policy, bank account or shares. Read our blog to know more.

So, even if you have a nominee for your bank account or LIC policy, it is essential to write a Will.

सामान्य प्रश्न

मुझे वसीयत क्यों लिखनी चाहिए?
वसीयत तैयार करने से यह सुनिश्चित होता है कि आपकी सभी संपत्ति आपकी मृत्यु के बाद आपकी इच्छा के अनुसार वितरित और निपटाई जाती है और परिवार के भीतर विवादों/गलतफहमी या किसी भी कानूनी हस्तक्षेप से बचा जाता है। इसके अलावा, यदि आप अपने कुछ रिश्तेदारों / उत्तराधिकारियों को अधिक हिस्सा देना चाहते हैं और यह सुनिश्चित करना चाहते हैं कि किसी व्यक्ति को आपकी कोई संपत्ति नहीं मिलनी चाहिए, तो ऐसा करने के लिए वसीयत ही एकमात्र प्रभावी दस्तावेज है।
वसीयत को कानूनी रूप से वैध कैसे माना जाता है?
यह लिखित रूप में होनी चाहिए, आपके द्वारा हस्ताक्षरित होना चाहिए, और कम से कम दो लोगों द्वारा हस्ताक्षरित किया जाना चाहिए। आपके पास वसीयत बनाने और उसके प्रभाव को समझने की मानसिक क्षमता होनी चाहिए। वसीयत स्वेच्छा से और किसी और के दबाव के बिना बनाई गई होनी चाहिए।
कौन कौन मेरे डेटा तक पहुंच पाएगा?
एसेट वॉल्ट के अलावा किसी के पास आपके डेटा तक पहुंच नहीं होगी। इसे किसी तीसरे पक्ष के साथ साझा नहीं किया जाता है। आपकी गोपनीयता हमारी सर्वोच्च प्राथमिकता है। आपका डेटा हमारे पास सुरक्षित है।
वसीयत में किन संपत्तियों का उल्लेख किया जा सकता है?
वसीयत में सभी एकल/संयुक्त संपत्तियों, संपदा, प्राप्य, और सभी देनदारियों/ऋणों का उल्लेख करना उचित है, जिसमें चल, अचल, अमूर्त संपत्ति और संपत्ति शामिल हैं। चल संपत्तियों में नकद, आभूषण, सावधि जमा, बैंक खाते, बीमा नीतियां, वाहन और आपके सभी फर्नीचर, जुड़नार आदि शामिल होंगे। अचल संपत्तियों में आपकी भूमि, भवन, फ्लैट, दुकान, कार्यालय, प्लॉट, गैरेज आदि शामिल होंगे।
क्या वसीयत को 'नोटरीकरण' या 'पंजीकृत' करना अनिवार्य है?
नहीं, नोटरीकरण या वसीयत का पंजीकरण अनिवार्य नहीं है। दो गवाहों द्वारा हस्ताक्षरित वसीयत एक कानूनी वसीयत है।हालांकि, कोई भी वसीयत को बनाने के बाद जीवन काल तक किसी भी समय पंजीकृत कर सकता है, जिसके लिए सब-रजिस्ट्रार के कार्यालय में कुछ स्कैनिंग शुल्कों को छोड़कर कोई शुल्क नहीं लिया जाता है। यदि वसीयत पंजीकृत है, तो इसका मतलब है कि जिस व्यक्ति ने दो गवाहों की उपस्थिति में अपनी वसीयत बनाई है, वह पंजीकरण कार्यालय का भौतिक रूप से दौरा करेगा और सब-रजिस्ट्रार (सरकारी अधिकारी) की उपस्थिति में अपनी वसीयत को पंजीकृत करेगा। इसलिए, परिवार/रिश्तेदारों के बीच वसीयत की प्रामाणिकता पर सवाल उठाने की संभावना से बचा जाता है।

वसीयत को पंजीकृत करने के लिए, वसीयत के निर्माता को दो गवाहों के साथ व्यक्तिगत रूप से जाना होगा। आपको मूल वसीयत, मानसिक फिटनेस के लिए नवीनतम एमबीबीएस डॉक्टर का प्रमाणपत्र और पते का प्रमाण भी साथ रखना होगा।
क्या एसेटवॉल्ट वसीयत को नोटराइज करने में आपकी मदद करता है?
हम आपको एक नोटरीकृत स्व-प्रमाणित हलफनामे का उपयोग करने की सलाह देते हैं जो आपकी वसीयत को परिवीक्षा के माध्यम से प्राप्त करना आसान बना देगा (जो मृत्यु के बाद वसीयत का आधिकारिक प्रमाण है)। वसीयत को नोटरीकृत करते समय आसान विल आपको सहायता प्रदान करता है।

Yes, you should write a Will because Will writing or estate planning is not only for rich people. Here are the reasons to write a Will even if you are not rich:

1. Not every person will have a portfolio of properties or millions of pounds to leave behind, but just about everybody will have accumulated some beloved sentimental possessions over the course of their life
2. Whether it’s a special watch, heirloom jewellery, or an old family photograph, a Will allows you to set out in writing what happens to your treasured belongings after your passing
3. After creation of a business succession plan, your small business will continue to remain viable
4. Naming a guardian for your children and pets can also be done through Will
5. Organ donation via Will makes it easier for your family to support your wishes. 
Who should make a Will and what is the right age to make a Will?
We can say the right age to write a Will is whatever age you have started acquiring assets of value or dependents in your care. One should be above 18 years and of sound mind as a legal requirement. 

If one takes insurance at a young age to provide financial support to the family in case of untimely death, why not make a Will which is an instruction in writing to the family on how to distribute insurance claims or other properties / assets’. Hence everyone should make a Will at any age above 18 years.
Why should you not wait till old age to make a Will?
In today’s world of uncertainty where untimely death due to accidents, heart ailments, terror attacks are becoming ‘a way of life’ which is also why many people take insurance at a young age of 25 or earlier. You should make a Will soon after attaining 18 years of age and owning even a single asset like a flat or insurance policy, bank account or shares. Read our blog to know more.

सामान्य प्रश्न

मुझे वसीयत क्यों लिखनी चाहिए?
वसीयत तैयार करने से यह सुनिश्चित होता है कि आपकी सभी संपत्ति आपकी मृत्यु के बाद आपकी इच्छा के अनुसार वितरित और निपटाई जाती है और परिवार के भीतर विवादों/गलतफहमी या किसी भी कानूनी हस्तक्षेप से बचा जाता है। इसके अलावा, यदि आप अपने कुछ रिश्तेदारों / उत्तराधिकारियों को अधिक हिस्सा देना चाहते हैं और यह सुनिश्चित करना चाहते हैं कि किसी व्यक्ति को आपकी कोई संपत्ति नहीं मिलनी चाहिए, तो ऐसा करने के लिए वसीयत ही एकमात्र प्रभावी दस्तावेज है।
वसीयत को कानूनी रूप से वैध कैसे माना जाता है?
यह लिखित रूप में होनी चाहिए, आपके द्वारा हस्ताक्षरित होना चाहिए, और कम से कम दो लोगों द्वारा हस्ताक्षरित किया जाना चाहिए। आपके पास वसीयत बनाने और उसके प्रभाव को समझने की मानसिक क्षमता होनी चाहिए। वसीयत स्वेच्छा से और किसी और के दबाव के बिना बनाई गई होनी चाहिए।
कौन कौन मेरे डेटा तक पहुंच पाएगा?
एसेट वॉल्ट के अलावा किसी के पास आपके डेटा तक पहुंच नहीं होगी। इसे किसी तीसरे पक्ष के साथ साझा नहीं किया जाता है। आपकी गोपनीयता हमारी सर्वोच्च प्राथमिकता है। आपका डेटा हमारे पास सुरक्षित है।
वसीयत में किन संपत्तियों का उल्लेख किया जा सकता है?
वसीयत में सभी एकल/संयुक्त संपत्तियों, संपदा, प्राप्य, और सभी देनदारियों/ऋणों का उल्लेख करना उचित है, जिसमें चल, अचल, अमूर्त संपत्ति और संपत्ति शामिल हैं। चल संपत्तियों में नकद, आभूषण, सावधि जमा, बैंक खाते, बीमा नीतियां, वाहन और आपके सभी फर्नीचर, जुड़नार आदि शामिल होंगे। अचल संपत्तियों में आपकी भूमि, भवन, फ्लैट, दुकान, कार्यालय, प्लॉट, गैरेज आदि शामिल होंगे।
क्या वसीयत को 'नोटरीकरण' या 'पंजीकृत' करना अनिवार्य है?
नहीं, नोटरीकरण या वसीयत का पंजीकरण अनिवार्य नहीं है। दो गवाहों द्वारा हस्ताक्षरित वसीयत एक कानूनी वसीयत है।हालांकि, कोई भी वसीयत को बनाने के बाद जीवन काल तक किसी भी समय पंजीकृत कर सकता है, जिसके लिए सब-रजिस्ट्रार के कार्यालय में कुछ स्कैनिंग शुल्कों को छोड़कर कोई शुल्क नहीं लिया जाता है। यदि वसीयत पंजीकृत है, तो इसका मतलब है कि जिस व्यक्ति ने दो गवाहों की उपस्थिति में अपनी वसीयत बनाई है, वह पंजीकरण कार्यालय का भौतिक रूप से दौरा करेगा और सब-रजिस्ट्रार (सरकारी अधिकारी) की उपस्थिति में अपनी वसीयत को पंजीकृत करेगा। इसलिए, परिवार/रिश्तेदारों के बीच वसीयत की प्रामाणिकता पर सवाल उठाने की संभावना से बचा जाता है।

वसीयत को पंजीकृत करने के लिए, वसीयत के निर्माता को दो गवाहों के साथ व्यक्तिगत रूप से जाना होगा। आपको मूल वसीयत, मानसिक फिटनेस के लिए नवीनतम एमबीबीएस डॉक्टर का प्रमाणपत्र और पते का प्रमाण भी साथ रखना होगा।
क्या एसेटवॉल्ट वसीयत को नोटराइज करने में आपकी मदद करता है?
हम आपको एक नोटरीकृत स्व-प्रमाणित हलफनामे का उपयोग करने की सलाह देते हैं जो आपकी वसीयत को परिवीक्षा के माध्यम से प्राप्त करना आसान बना देगा (जो मृत्यु के बाद वसीयत का आधिकारिक प्रमाण है)। वसीयत को नोटरीकृत करते समय आसान विल आपको सहायता प्रदान करता है।
