Hi
1) An unregistered Will can be written even on a white paper and is valid in courts as evidence.
2) All a WILL needs is that it has to be signed by your father in present of two independent witnesses .
3) However, if you so wish, you can use a Rs20-/- stamp paper in your father's name and also mention that it is for self.
4) Please note registration of a WILL will cost you not more than Rs3500-/- and is the best way prescribed by law.
5) You need to convince your father that a WILL(Registered/unregistered) can be changed/amended/cancelled/modified any number of times by your father and last WILL shall be final.
Hope this information is useful
A Will can be written in a plain paper also but has to be duly attested by attesting witnesses in all the pages along with the testator.
There is no necessity for a non judicial stamp paper for writing a will.
The Will can be written on a plain paper itself.
It is not mandatory to write the Will in the non judicial stamp paper only.
There is no requirement for stamp duty for bequeathing property through Will.
The basic requirement is, there should be two attesting witnesses to the Will, who can vouch for the said execution when the issue comes up for checking the genuineness of said Will
