While making a will, it is important to ensure that it
is legally unambiguous and valid
Most of us spend our entire lives procuring what we consider
most important in today's world: money. Everyone wants to make
sure that their fortune is passed on to their loved ones after
their death. The legal framework allows individuals to bequeath
their property through an instrument called a will.
In this case, Manohar Joshi wanted to bequeath his
property/wealth to his family, excluding his son Uddhav and
daughter Pragnya. Under Indian laws, such a bequest is valid. A
person making a will can exclude individuals who otherwise would
have received a share if the testator (the person making the will)
had died intestate (without having made a will).
