What happens if there are two wills?


The contents of both Wills need to be checked.

The subsequent Will made at latter date shall overcome the previous Will and the second Will shall be considered valid, however if the two Wills have different subjects matter namely in each of the Will the property or wealth identified and given to a particular beneficiary and in the second Will different property or wealth identified and given to another beneficiary, then both Will shall be considered valid for the mentioned property or wealth to particular named beneficiary.

Does caste change after marriage?

* A woman’s caste does not change after marriage. Caste is determined by birth. By default , the father’s caste is the child's caste. Marriage does not alter the caste of someone.
