POINTS TO KEEP IN MIND WHILE WRITING WILL
It's a myth that only the super rich need to write wills. The fact is that anyone and everyone should write a will so that his heirs do not face difficulties in accessing what is rightfully theirs. Any adult who wants to distribute his assets can write a will. The assets can be anything — property, gold, financial investments, art and artefacts, even hard cash lying at home.
Contrary to perception, it is not necessary to write it on a stamp paper or even get it registered. You can write a will on plain paper and it will be as legally valid as one prepared by a lawyer. All it should do is identify you as the testator (or the person who is making the will), list out your assets and specify how these are to be distributed among the beneficiaries.
Whether you type it out or write it down, so long as the will is signed by you and attested by two witnesses, it is a legal document for all practical purposes.
