Law of Testament in India is exclusively covered and governed through the Indian Succession Act, 1925.
The book showcases every aspect of the Laws governing testaments which are exclusively in the form of “WILLS” & “PROBATES” in India.
Being a Lawyer, it’s imperative for Lawyers who wish t to and are practicing and dealing with cases of Succession & Testaments; to have knowhow and knowledge of every aspect of Wills & Probates.
The book covers the Description Of Succession, Succession in Hindus, Muslims, Christians & Parsi’s; and the governing provisions inter-alia the case law.
Every endeavor has been taken by the author to cover every aspect of Succession, Intestate Succession of Hindu Male, Intestate Succession of Hindu Female, Understanding Right to property, Hindu Law of Testamentary Succession, Muslim Law of Testamentary Succession, Christian & Parsi Law of Testamentary Succession, Women’s Right To Succession And Inheritance Under Muslim, Jews, Parsi & Christian, Law of Wills, Its types, Golden rules for construction of Wills & Interpretation, Probates, Need-Importance-Necessity, Law relating to HUF Partition. The book starts with an examination of the intestacy system because the majority of people die without executing a will. Therefore, most of the legal issues a lawyer faces center around the intestacy system. Unlike the typical wills casebook, this book provides a detailed discussion of the intestacy system.
The book covers the chapter that showcases the issues that can be raised to dispute the validity of the will.
They also explain the different types of wills that are available.
The book covers when the need of probate arise, when to apply and who can seek probates and the circumstances thereto.
The book covers all the case-laws delivered by the Privy Council in the 1800’s which still have their impact and reference in the judgments delivered by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India and High Courts of India.
I hope that the book shall be of great help to every Lawyer and to the entire legal fraternity.
