Will in Ancestral Property

Query: An Ancestral Property, when my grandfather passed away by making a ‘Will’ signed in the presence of the all his sons. Later it was declared by one son that he made a second ‘Will’ by declaring the first Will as null and void. But execution about the second Will was not informed to any of the other sons. About second Will came to my knowledge recently. Which Will to be considered valid and why?

Reply: Will, a document executed in the presence of whom is not important. It is not compulsory to be registered under the Registration Act. The last Will ie. Second Will is the document to be considered valid after the death of your grandfather, if it is not cancelled before his death.
