Dear Client,
Executor is the person who oversees the settlement of the assets of the deceased person in accordance with the wishes stated in the Will and can be both executor and beneficiary.
The Power in one hand goes good in order to avoid complications. You can make your wife Executor because she is the ultimate Beneficiary.
An executor is to oversee the settlement of the assets of your in accordance with the wishes stated in the Will and can be both executor and beneficiary.
Yes, it's perfectly normal (and perfectly legal) for your Executor and Beneficiaries to be the same people.
So you can make your wife a executor of the will.
Dear Sir,
The provisions of the Indian Succession Act, 1925 would apply to the disposition of assets by a Hindu through a will (testamentary succession). As per the provisions of the Indian Succession Act, 1925, there is no restriction on an executor of a Will also being a beneficiary under that Will. In fact, the Indian Succession Act, 1925 contemplates bequests to an executor of a Will and Section 141 provides that if a legacy is bequeathed to a person who is named as an executor of the Will, he shall not take the legacy unless he proves the Will or otherwise manifests an intention to act as an executor.
Therefore, it is possible for you to name your wife as the executor of your Will and also bequeath some of your assets to her under your Will, if you so desire.
1. Registration of WILL is optional, but not compulsory.
2. It's not compulsory to appoint an Executor. You may or may not appoint an executor at all.
3. If you do not appoint any executor, then your wife, being the beneficiary of the WILL, can perform the duties of an executor, without specific mention of her name as executor in the WILL. This arrangement is legally permissible.
The beneficiary under the WILL cannot be an executor. The WILL can be executable without appointing an executor.
