You can execute one will for all your properties 

 

2) will should be attested by 2 witnesses 

 

3) registration of will is optional

You can make single will but for beneficiary purpose make a separate will as each state has different law for inheriting property and for mutation papers so make it a registered WILL that will be good for your  children.

You can execute a single WILL for all the properties situated both in Bangalore and Andhra Pradesh.

However, do not mix-up with all the properties while executing a WILL. Demarcate each property clearly.

You can bequeath all your properties in a single Will itself.

You have to make schedules of proeprty that you are allotting to each accordingly with  proper details  so that there is no ambiguity  while the Will shall be enforced by them.

Please note that if you make two Wills simultaneously, both shall be invalid, only one Will shall be valid, whichever has been the latest.

My sincere answer is that you have no rights under the law for execution of WILL of Ancestral Property. You have every rights to execute WILL of all your self acquired property throughout India.

Please file partition suit before Civil Court for division of property equally between your son and daughter without any hesitation and prejudice.

You can make a single Will. In fact,  it would be better if you make a single Will as multiplicity of Wills may create confusion and complications to your heirs/beneficiaries.

Yes, you can make a single Will by capturing all the details of each property by giving clear details of allotment made to each child.

1. IF Husband passed away without making his WILL, THEN "ALL" his residual Legal Heirs (Wife, Daughter & Son) have EQUAL claim /right /stake in Husband's property, as follows:

Wife = 33.33%,   Son = 33.33%,  Daughter = 33.33%

2. By virtue of above, you can make will ONLY for your share of 33.33%.  You CANNOT make will for share of Son & Daughter.

3. Further, ONLY one WILL document is valid and multiple WILL document becomes null & void and not enforceable.

Dear Madam,

You have to make only one Will preferably in Bangalore since most of the properties are situated in Bengaluru City.
