Dividing property is considered one of the most difficult tasks in the world. A will is written by someone who is fully entitled to the property he is bequeathing. But many times this question also comes to mind whether the will can be transferred to one's name even after the death of the owner of the will by putting his thumb impression on it. Let us tell you what is the truth about this and why people think that by putting a thumb impression, the will can be made in their name.
According to Quora website, there are two types of will, a registered will and an unregistered will. Unregistered will can also be written by hand on plain paper. The person writing the will signs or puts his thumb impression on this paper. Apart from this, signatures of two witnesses are also required on this will deed. And while making a will, both witnesses are also required. If the father is with the first son and he dies there, then the elder son will take over the will after his death.
Can challenge in court
If the other brothers who were away from the father would wonder where this will came from. So they can challenge this will in the court. At this time, witnesses to this will will become very important. In such a situation, finger print report will also become important for the court. If the thumb is inserted several hours after death, it can be detected in the report, because changes are seen in the body after death. Apart from this, checking of ink and paper will also become important.
There may be a case against the presenter
Apart from all this, if the will is found to be fake, then a case will be registered against the person presenting the will under different sections for making fake documents and presenting them in the court. And if the mother is alive then her testimony will also be very important in this.
