When you are dead, there's someone known as an “Executor” who will be responsible for dividing your wealth amongst the beneficiaries, and he will check that the complete method is smooth. It's not legally required to get the will executed in a court of law within the presence of a judicial magistrate in India.

However, if you want, the will can be executed within the presence of a magistrate or the public notary, appointed by the government authorities and sealed in their presence.

Any will is executed once the document is signed by the testator in presence of the witnesses, ideally two. However, the will is to be registered through registrar once paying the required taxation to register the document.

A registered will is often additional approval than an unregistered will although the latter is perfectly valid; the former is more practical in a contest before a Court of law.

The execution of a will is to be done by the executor appointed for the purpose by the testator. It's nothing, however, the distribution of the property of the deceased according to his/her intent as worded in the will. To begin his duties as an executor of a will, probate is important. For this to be accomplished, the executor should apply for probate of the will before a competent Court.
