Standard Canadian wills assume all your assets sit in Canada. Ours adapts for property in India, joint family structures, and the religious framework your family follows.
Own land, a flat, or bank accounts in India? Your Canadian will alone won't cover them. We add an International Will + apostille service so your estate transfers properly under the Indian Succession Act.
Canadian registered accounts pass by beneficiary designation; Indian PPF, EPF, and bank deposits follow Indian rules. We coordinate both so nothing falls between systems.
Hindu Succession Act, Indian Succession Act, Muslim Personal Law, or Sikh customary practice — choose the framework that matches your family. We draft clauses that hold up in both jurisdictions.
If you're part of a Hindu Undivided Family or hold ancestral property, your share needs explicit succession language. Standard Canadian wills miss this entirely.
India joined the Hague Apostille Convention as a receiving state for Canadian documents in 2024. We apostille your will at Global Affairs Canada — accepted at the Sub-Registrar's office for mutation of property.
Two qualifying witnesses provided. Affidavit of execution included. For Ontario residents — same day or next day at our Toronto office.
Indian succession is federal — but property records, mutation procedures, and ancestral-land rules vary state by state. We tailor your International Will companion to where your property actually sits.
Sikh customary practice + Hindu Succession Act for partition of agricultural land. Khasra/Khatauni references handled in the Indian companion document.
Indian Succession Act + Hindu Succession Act. Common for clients with flats in Noida, Gurugram, and Delhi colonies.
Special considerations for HUF property and ancestral land. Joint property mutation at the local Talati office.
Marumakkathayam (matrilineal) traditions in some Kerala communities; Indian Succession Act for Christians. Karnataka land records (RTC) referenced.
Hindu Succession Act with Bengali-specific testamentary practice. Mutation at the BLLRO office for property in Kolkata or surrounding districts.
Goa follows the Portuguese Civil Code (community property). Mumbai property requires careful drafting around the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code.
If you own real estate, agricultural land, NRO/NRE accounts, mutual fund holdings, fixed deposits, PPF, EPF, gold, or jewellery in India, your Canadian will alone won't transfer them properly. The Indian Sub-Registrar needs an apostilled foreign will, plus often a parallel Indian will for clean mutation.
Our International Will + apostille service is built for this:
The questionnaire walks you through every Indian asset — type, location, beneficiary — and the document references each one explicitly. If a parallel Indian will is recommended, we tell you and connect you with affiliated counsel in India.
The Canadian will is priced like any other Canadian will — Indian-Canadian preparation is included at no extra cost. Add the International Will only if you need cross-border coverage.
Last Will and Testament covering all your Canadian assets. Same-day execution at Canada Notary, witnesses + affidavit included.
Adds POA for Property and POA for Personal Care — coordinated with your will, all three executed at one appointment.
Add-on for clients with NRI property. Apostilled by Global Affairs Canada, ready for the Sub-Registrar.
