FAQ's on Concurrent Wills

Can I have wills in two different countries?

Yes, if you have assets in foreign countries, you can have two wills. But it has to be in accordance with the respective countries’ laws. You need to clarify in the testaments that any subsequent will in another country cannot replace the previous one.

Are there any challenges in having multiple wills?

The only challenge is that the wills must be drafted per the country's applicable laws. Different jurisdictions may have different laws. For example, in some countries, a will not be considered valid if there are no provisions for a child or spouse to inherit the property. Some countries may require the signatures of three witnesses. Hence, consulting with lawyers specialising in property and wills is highly recommended.

Are foreign citizens eligible to inherit properties in India?

Yes, NRIs, persons of Indian origin, and foreign nationals who are not of Indian origin can inherit assets like agricultural land, plantation, farmland and residential and commercial properties.

Who can I include as beneficiaries in my will?

As a testator, you can include all your loved ones, like parents, spouses, children, step-children, grandparents, grandchildren, relatives, and friends. You can even bequeath to institutions, charitable trusts, community trusts, schools, and temples. Note: The information given here is generic and is subject to specific instances. Please consult our expert lawyers and legal professionals to write and execute your will.
