List what you own and owe, who to call and where your papers are, so your family knows where to start. Nothing you enter leaves your device.
This is an information record, not a will. It does not transfer or decide ownership of anything.
This record tells your family what exists. A will decides who gets it, and this record does not do that. Some basics about wills in India:
This is general information, not legal advice. For large or complex estates, businesses, property abroad or family disputes, please speak to a lawyer.
It is a simple list of what you own and owe, who your family should call, where your papers are, and what they should do first. It saves your family from hunting through papers and phones at a difficult time.
It is for information only. It does not decide who receives anything.
No. This record does not transfer or decide ownership of anything, and you should not sign it or have it witnessed as if it were a will. It tells your family what exists and where to find it.
A will decides who inherits. For that, please speak to a lawyer. If you already have a will, note where it is kept in this record.

Never enter passwords, PINs, OTPs, CVVs, full card numbers, recovery phrases or Aadhaar numbers. Your family does not need them to make a claim. Write where something is kept, not the secret itself.
Keep a printed copy somewhere safe, such as with your important papers, and tell one or two people you trust where it is. A record your family cannot find or open is of no use to them. Review it once a year and after big changes, such as a new investment or a new nominee.
To record the nomination already registered with the bank, fund house or insurer, and to show you where one is missing or you are not sure. A missing nominee can make a claim slower and harder for your family. To change one, contact the institution, as writing it here changes nothing.
Yes. A will does not need stamp paper. It can be handwritten or typed on plain paper, as long as you sign it and two witnesses sign it in your presence.
No, registration is optional. A registered will can be harder to challenge, but an unregistered will that is properly signed and witnessed is also valid.
Any adult of sound mind can be a witness. Avoid anyone who receives something under the will, or their husband or wife, because a gift to a witness can become invalid.
Not always. A nominee is usually the person a bank or fund house pays the money to, but depending on the asset and the law, they may have to hold it for the legal heirs. A will makes clear who you want to inherit.
