What is a Will?

A Will is a crucial legal document made by a person (Testator), which contains instructions to ensure that his assets are distributed as per his wishes after his death. A Will comes into effect after a person’s demise.

Who can be a Witness to a Will?

Witnesses should be adults, i.e. above 18 years of age. It is preferred that your Witnesses should be younger to you so they can survive you if they are needed to testify the Will after your death. It is important to note that a Witness should not be a Beneficiary in your Will.

When are properties distributed as per the Will?

The properties are distributed as per the Will only after the death of the Testator.

Are the laws different for different religions?

Yes, the Succession Laws are different depending on the religion of the deceased person. For instance – The Hindu Succession Act 1956 shall be applicable if you are a Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, or Jain. Similarly, The Indian Succession Act, 1925 is applicable if you are a Christian or Parsi, and the Muslim principles of inheritance apply if you are a Muslim (there are different rules for Shia, Sunni, Khoja, etc.) At Yellow, we have subject matter experts who are well versed to advise on each of the different succession laws.

‍

When should I amend my Will?

You can amend/make a new Will as many times as you want. It is important to keep your Will updated at all times. If you do not update your Will after major life events, it may not reflect your wishes under new circumstances. Typically, you must consider making necessary changes to the Will after major life events e.g. marriage, divorce, childbirth, change of mind about legal heirs, acquisition or disposition of assets, change of Executor, death of named Beneficiaries, etc. When you make a new Will it will render all previous Wills null and void.

Aside from these major life events, it is advisable to review your Will once a year and make any changes you deem necessary.

‍

What is a demise event?

A Demise Event is the term used to describe when the Testator has passed away and their Yellow Will goes into effect.

‍

Is it legal to make my Will on Yellow?

Absolutely! The Yellow app guides you through a series of steps to make your Will-creation journey quick and easy. You are not signing anything digitally - the app helps you generate a hard copy that needs to be physically signed by you and your Witnesses to make it legally valid.

Making a Will on Yellow has its advantages. You can:

Create an asset register organised by asset classes and subtypes
Get simplified distribution for your Beneficiaries
Get guidance on selecting of Executor, Guardian and Witnesses
Appoint unlimited backups for your Executor and Guardian
Easily make updates to any part of your Will, anytime. You are only required to make a payment when you generate your Will

‍

How do I make a Will?

Your Will can be handwritten or typed and can be on plain paper (no stamp paper required). Also, you can write your Will in any language suitable to you.

What is the purpose of having a Witness?

A Will should be signed in the presence of at least two Witnesses. Once the Will has been signed by the Testator, the Witnesses must add their signatures in the Testator’s presence. The purpose of having a Witness is to ensure that the Testator has the mental capacity and intent to make a Will. He or she should be able to testify this fact before the court, should the Will get challenged.

Can a share in a HUF be bequeathed?

Yes, your share in a Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) can be bequeathed.

‍

What if there is no Will? How are legal heirs established?

In the absence of a Will, a Succession Certificate/ Legal Heir Certificate must be obtained from Court in case of movable properties only. If the deceased has left behind immovable property, then Letters of Administration are required to be obtained.

‍

How do I amend my Will?

By revoking the old Will and making a new Will in its place; or
Amending the existing Will by way of a Codicil. A Codicil is like an amendment or addition to your existing Will. For a codicil to be valid, it must be signed, dated, and witnessed just like a legal Will.

After you change your Will, it is suggested that you destroy the hard copies of any previous Wills. Though the previous Wills are no longer legally enforceable, destroying them will ensure that there is no scope for debate or confusion in the future.

‍

How do I trigger a demise event?

You can trigger a demise event by scanning the QR code located on the cover page of the deceased’s Will or directly from within the app if you have accepted a role in their Will. Alternatively, you can reach out to us at helpdesk@getyellow.in or call us on 80500 73434.

‍

What type of security measures does Yellow have in place? Is my data safe?

Your security is our top priority. At Yellow, we deploy the highest level of security checks, at par with industry best practices. We use AES-256 bit encryption (a cipher approved by the US National Security Agency to protect classified information). All communication is secured from your browser to our service with SSL-encryption. We use the Google Cloud platform, the most reliable platform for hosting data and signed URLs for storing images.

We'll never use your data for anything other than creating and generating your Will without your permission. Visit https://getyellow.in/security for more information.

‍

How old do I have to be to create a Yellow Will?

You must be 18 years, or older.

‍

Who can make a Will?

Any person above the age of 18 years, who is of sound mind (i.e. capable of understanding one’s own actions), and free from any undue influences (i.e. coercion, threats, etc.) can make a legally valid Will.

How many Witnesses do I need?

You require a minimum of two Witnesses to attest the Will but there is no upper limit. You can also have more than two Witnesses if you are doubtful that your Witnesses will survive you.

Can long leasehold rights be included in a Will?

Long-term leasehold rights can be bequeathed in a Will because they are considered as deemed ownership. However, the same may not be in the case of short term leasehold rights because they are not recognised as having deemed ownership rights.

Do I need to register my Will?

No, registration of your Will is not mandatory as per Indian laws. A Will signed by two Witnesses is a legal and valid Will.

‍

When and how can a Will be cancelled?

You can cancel/revoke your Will at any point in time in the following ways:

By execution of a subsequent Will.
By writing and declaring an intention to revoke the Will.
By burning, tearing up, or otherwise physically destroying the Will (since under current law the signed and witnessed Will is the only legally enforceable copy).

‍

Who can trigger a demise event?

A demise event can be triggered by anyone with access to the deceased’s Yellow Will.

‍

How do I create an account with Yellow?

Creating an account with Yellow is extremely simple. Download the Yellow app on sign up online at https://plan.getyellow.in/register. Enter your mobile number and the 6-digit OTP you receive. To create your profile, you will need to provide some basic details, such as your name, date of birth, and email address.

‍

Can I pay in installments?

No, the entire amount is payable upfront.

‍

What should I include in my Will?

A Will should include the details of your family, assets, liabilities, Beneficiaries, an Executor, the names of two Witnesses, and the date and place of signing the Will. If you have minor children, you should also appoint a trusted Guardian. Yellow makes it easy to create a Will by handling all the legal details, allowing you to focus on what’s important: protecting the people closest to you.

Does a Witness need to read the contents of the Will before signing?

No, it is not mandatory for a Witness to read the contents of the Will before signing. By signing the Will, the Witness only confirms that you have signed your Will in his/her presence.

Can business ownership in a firm/company be bequeathed in a Will?

Yes, ownership as a proprietor in a proprietorship firm or shares owned in a company can be bequeathed in a Will. For share in a partnership firm/ LLP as a Partner, it is allowed to be bequeathed subject to conditions, if any, in the Partnership Deed.

‍

How do I register my Will? Can Yellow help me get it done?

At any point after the Will has been signed, you can register your Will at the local Sub Registrar’s office (SRO) in the presence of the Sub-Registrar for a nominal fee. To register your Will, you have to personally visit the SRO along with two witnesses and carry your original Will. It is not necessary for these witnesses to be the same as those who signed your Will. Yellow can also help you to get your Will registered. Do contact us at helpdesk@getyellow.in or call us at +91 80500 73434 for more details.

‍

What about assets that I missed or forgot to mention in the Will, or hope to own new assets, or may want to sell existing assets. How will a Will I write today take care of such changes in my asset portfolio?

It is important to note that, in a Will, it is possible to distribute only those assets which a person owns at the time of his/her demise. However, new assets received or acquired by the person after the Will is written can easily be covered under a section of the Will dealing with Future Assets. Those assets that were missed out or which cannot be described at all can easily be covered under a section of the Will dealing with Residual Assets. Yellow’s comprehensive Will draft provides for a clause on Residual and Future Assets, wherein these aspects are taken care of. It is also a good practice to review your Will every year and, whenever there is a significant change in your asset holdings or family, update it as required.

‍

When should a Demise Event be triggered?

A Demise Event should be triggered when the Testator of a Yellow Will has passed away. Yellow will take steps to verify the details and provide all concerned parties with the information they need regarding the funeral arrangements (if this was provided), and the Will itself, in a timely manner. If you need any further help with the transmission of assets, you can always reach out to us at helpdesk@getyellow.in or call us on 80500 73434. We will be happy to help.

‍

How do I change / update my name, email ID, and address on the app?

Unfortunately, once your KYC has been completed, you can’t change your name on the app. You can, however, reach out to our Customer Support team if you have gone through a legal name change.

Your email ID and address can be easily updated on the app. Simply go to Profile/Update Contact Details -> Contact Details -> Email ID -> Edit

‍

Do I need to purchase a Yellow Will to access Yellow SMART?

No, purchasing a Yellow Will is not required to access Yellow SMART. Both Yellow SMART Remote and Yellow SMART On-ground can be subscribed to independently. In fact, Yellow SMART On-ground includes a Starter Will as part of the package.

‍

What happens if I die without a Will?

If you die without a Will the applicable Succession Laws take effect. These Succession Laws, depending on your religion and gender, specify what proportion of assets will be passed on to stipulated family members. This distribution may not be in accordance with what your wishes may have been. Court processes in the absence of a Will also result in lengthy delays before your loved ones receive their inheritances.

Who is an Executor?

An Executor is a person who is nominated by the Testator to carry out the instructions as per the Will. An Executor should be above 18 years of age. Your Executor can be any trusted person like a family friend, spouse, children, lawyer, CA or any professional, who can be relied upon to execute your Will. You should always seek the consent of the person you nominate as your Executor to avoid the potential of him/her declining the responsibility of acting as an Executor after your demise.

What assets can be mentioned in the Will?

Movable and immovable properties
Cash
Jewellery
Fixed deposits
Mutual fund holdings
Shares
Bank accounts
Receivables
Loans and other liabilities
Insurance policies
Intellectual properties like Trademark, Patents, Copyrights, Licenses, etc.
Digital assets, Social Media Accounts, etc.
Any other assets

What is Probate of a Will? Is it mandatory for all Wills?

Probate is a legal certificate issued by a court of law in certain cities (Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata) after the validity of the final Will is proved. An Executor nominated under the Will can apply for probate post the lifetime of the Testator (ie, the person writing the Will). Once the court grants the probate or certifies the Will, the Executor is entitled to take the necessary steps to enforce the Will. Certain situations require Probate, and when there are many immovable properties or the assets are of high value, Probate may be insisted upon before the title of owner is changed to avoid any disputes in the future.

‍

What happens when a demise event is triggered?

When a demise event is triggered, the Testator’s death certificate and any other supporting documentation must be uploaded onto the app. We require 48 hours to verify the documents provided and confirm the demise event. Once confirmed, The Will details are released to all concerned parties to start the process of asset transfer.

‍

Which devices are supported by the Yellow app?

Our mobile app is best supported on devices that have operating system versions Android 5 and above, or iOS 14 and above.

‍

I’m young and not likely to die soon. Do I really need Yellow Smart?

Similar to how insurance works, by signing up for Yellow Smart early, you will be able to lock in a low annual fee.

Should I make a Will only after I reach a certain age?

Life is uncertain and sadly we are all aware of instances of untimely death. Globally, people buying life insurance policies at the young age of 25 or even earlier is becoming the new norm. Similarly, once you turn 18 years of age and own even a single asset (residential properties, Insurance Policy, bank account, shares, ESOPs, etc.) making a Will should become a way of life. Making a Will is a simple and effective way to protect the interests of those most important to you and you can always amend it as and when your life situation changes.

What are the duties of the Executor?

Filing the court papers, if required
Notifying the bank, government, post office, and other departments about the death of the Testator
Distributing the deceased’s estate among the Beneficiaries as directed in the Will
Payment of all debts, taxes due, and filing of income tax returns
Managing overall affairs related to the Will

‍

Which other properties/assets can be bequeathed in my Will?

One can bequeath paintings, antiques, electronic items, furniture & fixtures, Intellectual properties like trademarks, patents, copyrights, licenses, digital assets, social media accounts, personal belongings, books, etc through a Will.

‍

Will my legal heirs or I be required to pay income tax or any other taxes in respect to properties received under the Will?

No, as of today, any property received under the Will does not attract any tax including capital gains tax. In the past, there was an Estate Duty tax which was abolished in the year 1985. That said, income arising from such inherited assets will attract income tax as these assets are owned by the recipient.

‍

Who has access to my Will when it is being printed?

We have a controlled data room where the printing takes place. Only authorised personnel have access to this facility. Yellow has executed contracts with all employees, who are bound by non-disclosure obligations. These employees are bound by law not to disclose any information pertaining to customers.

‍

How do you calculate the cost for Yellow Smart?

Pricing for Yellow Smart is dependent on age at sign up after taking into account life expectancy (similar to insurance) and residency.

Which other properties/assets can be bequeathed in my Will?

One can bequeath pets, paintings, antiques, electronic items, furniture & fixtures, Intellectual properties like Trademark, Patents, Copyrights, Licenses, digital assets, Social Media Accounts, Personal Belongings, Books, etc. through a Will.

How do I choose an Executor?

Picking the right Executor can help ensure the prompt, accurate distribution of your estate while minimising the potential for conflict and objections. Hence, you should keep the following things in mind while choosing your Executor:

Number of Executors: While you could appoint more than one Executor, it is always advisable to minimise the number of Executors (not more than two acting jointly at any point). That said, you could nominate any number of alternate Executors in your preferred order of priority should the person you initially nominated predecease you, become incapacitated, or decline to act as an Executor. You can also appoint a professional Executor.
Qualities that the Executor must possess: The key qualities that your executor must possess are honesty, trustworthiness, good communication skills, and the ability to deal with the complexities of administering your estate.
Get consent from your Executor: An important consideration when selecting an Executor is their availability. Therefore, you should always seek the consent of the person you nominate as your executor to avoid the potential of the person declining the responsibility after your demise.
Fees of the Executor: If you choose a family member or friend to be the Executor of your Will, they may not charge a fee (although the expenses of administering the estate will be charged to the estate prior to any distributions). However, if you choose a professional Executor, then a portion of your estate may be charged as fees (typically 1%-5% of the estate).
Location: Another basic consideration is the Executor's location. Things such as court appearances, checking physical mail, meeting authorities, property maintenance, etc. can be considerably more difficult if the Executor does not live near where the majority of your assets are located.

The role of the Executor is one of great responsibility, and hence it is crucial to choose your Executor wisely. It is strongly advised to appoint someone you trust, who is capable, and ideally younger than you. It is also a good idea to provide a backup Executor in case the person who was your first preference for this role is no longer available to perform his/her duties as per your Will.

Can an ancestral property or property received as a legal heir in the past be bequeathed in a Will?

Ancestral property which is co-owned by all family members cannot be bequeathed under a Will. However, once a co-parcener (a person having an interest in the ancestral property) acquires his share in the ancestral property (ie, on partition), that can be bequeathed by a Will.

Can properties in foreign countries be bequeathed?

Properties situated in foreign countries are governed by local laws in those countries and the procedure to enforce a Will in such countries could be different from that of India. Therefore, it is advisable to prepare separate Wills for each jurisdiction to avoid any delay or hassles in the transfer of assets to the Beneficiaries.

‍

How and when will I get a copy of my Will?

Once you complete the payment for your Yellow Will, your Will document will be emailed to the address provided.

‍

Will my Yellow Smart subscription be renewed automatically?

No. Your Yellow Smart subscriptionn will not be renewed automatically. To lock in the same rates, please renew your plan at least 15 days before expiry. Don’t worry - we’ll remind you.

‍

Isn’t a Will complicated and time-consuming to create?

No! This is a commonly held misconception that prevents people from creating their Wills. With the help of Yellow, you will find that the process is simple, straightforward, and much quicker than you’d expect.

Can I appoint more than one Executor?

While you could appoint more than one Executor, it is always advisable to minimise the number of Executors to avoid conflicting opinions. You can nominate alternate Executors in your preferred order of priority if the person you initially nominated declines or is no longer available to act as an Executor.

Can I mention my wishes regarding my digital life such as access to email accounts, social media accounts, and online financial accounts?

Yes, a Will allows you to mention how you would like your digital life to be dealt with. A Will allows you to give a person the authority to access your online accounts. We create a secure digital locker for your online credentials, which will be shared only with your Digital Guardian upon your demise.

‍

When is a Will considered invalid?

When the person creating the Will is not of sound mind. Eg, a person with Alzheimer’s may create a valid Will in case he/she is capable of understanding their actions at the time of writing and signing it. On the other hand, a completely sane person cannot have created a valid Will if he/she was under the influence of alcohol at the time of its creation.
A minor (a person below the age of 18) cannot make a Will in India.
If a Will is attained through coercion (forceful methods), it is invalid.
You can dispose only of your own property. A Will through which a person is disposing of his/her spouse’s property is not a valid Will.

‍

Can I use my desktop computer to access my Yellow account?

Yes! You can access your account anytime by logging in with your registered phone number at www.getyellow.in/login.

‍

Where should I keep/store my Will?

It is advisable to store your Will at a safe and secure location where your family can easily find it after your death. Never keep a Will in your own bank locker, as access to the locker will not be possible without furnishing the original Will. It may be kept in the safe custody of a trusted person or with professionals like custody agents, bankers, or solicitors who will take the necessary steps to inform the executor after your death.

Since under current Indian law, the physically executed Will is the only legally valid copy, safekeeping of your Will is of the utmost importance as it will also ensure that a disgruntled Beneficiary, natural disaster, or other event does not destroy the Will. In the event that this happens, it will be deemed that you have died intestate (i.e. without a Will). Your assets will then be disposed to your legal heirs as per the applicable Succession Laws.

The Executor and Beneficiaries must be informed about the place where the Will has been kept; the Yellow app can store the copy of the Will and the location information securely and release it to your Executor and Beneficiaries upon proof of your demise.

What are the fees charged by an Executor?

If you choose a family member or friend to be the Executor of your Will, they may not charge a fee. All expenses required to administer the estate will be deducted first, prior to any distributions made to the beneficiaries. If you choose a professional Executor, then a portion of your estate may be charged as fees.

Can joint properties be included in a Will?

Yes. It is recommended to clearly list all joint property titles to avoid unnecessary disputes.

‍

Does my Will need to be video recorded?

Though it is not mandatory, it is advisable to create a video recording while the Will is being signed and keep the recording safe so that it can act as legal evidence, if required, to prove the authenticity of the Will.

‍

Will the contents of my Will be shared with anyone, when I click on ‘Notify My People’?

No, the ‘Notify My People’ button is merely to let your important people know that they have been appointed a role in your Will. Details of your Will are not shared with anyone.

‍

Can my parents sign up for Yellow Smart? If not, how can I ensure smooth asset transfer post their demise, considering that I’m the Executor for both their Wills?

Yellow Smart is available for all new users up to age 70. If your parents are beyond that age, please contact our helpdesk on 80500 73434 to get a customised plan for your parents.

‍

I’m only in my 30s/40s! Don’t only old people write a Will?

It is a misconceived notion in our society that Will making is meant solely for the elderly. The recent pandemic has taught us that life is uncertain, and just like you would take out an insurance policy to protect against some of that uncertainty, it is good financial hygiene to draw up a Will in order to safeguard the interests of loved ones; especially those who are financially dependent on you.

Who can be a Beneficiary in my Will?

A ‘Beneficiary’ is a person to whom the properties are distributed under the Will, i.e. a person who gets the benefit under the Will. Any person, trust, charitable institute, society etc. can be a Beneficiary in your Will.

Can rented properties/tenancy rights be included in a Will?

No, tenancy rights is not a property or asset hence it cannot be bequeathed in a Will.

‍

I have been told a medical certificate is required to write my Will. Is that true?

There is no such requirement under law. However, as a good practice, it may be advisable to obtain a medical certificate from a doctor mentioning that you were in good health and of sound mind at the time of writing the Will. This certificate may be kept on record along with the Will.

‍

Can I upload more than one picture for an asset?

Pictures are a good way to make sure your belongings are easily identified. The Yellow app does allow for multiple images to be uploaded - however, users should note that, in the final printed Will document, only the first image uploaded will appear. If you are grouping assets together for distribution (eg five paintings), you can upload a single image with all five paintings in it.

‍

What if all my questions haven’t been answered on the expert call?

Our team of experts in Indian Succession Law and Will-drafting have more than 50 years of combined experience at major firms, such as Kotak, Khaitan & Co, and Warmond Trustees. They are extremely knowledgeable on all things succession planning, having specialised in the field. They will surely be able to get you the answers you need.

‍

I have nominees on all my investments. What is the need for a Will?

As per Indian laws, a nominee is only a trustee, i.e. a nominee only holds assets on behalf of the beneficiary. Following the demise, the nominee does not become the rightful owner. Instead, a nominee will only act as the trustee of the assets until the legal heir(s) is/are established as per the Will or as per the applicable Succession Laws in the absence of a Will. Thereafter, the nominee has to transfer the properties to the rightful legal heirs. Note that a Nominee can also be a legal heir as determined by the Will or applicable Succession Laws.

How can I protect the interests of my minor children?

You can appoint a Guardian for your minor children in your Will. A Guardian will be responsible for looking after your children's interests and protecting their share of assets until they attain 18 years of age.

I want all my assets to go to my two children equally, and all of us have very amicable relations. I would prefer that they receive their share during my lifetime. Why make a Will then?

It is not uncommon to gift some amount of assets to children, especially on completing important life milestones such as marriage, etc. However, a gift cannot be a substitute for a Will because you will always have some assets reserved for yourself such as the home you live in, bank account deposits, etc. to take care of your needs during your lifetime. Though it is alright to gift a small portion of your assets, gifting your entire estate during your lifetime could have unfavourable results, as has been seen in the Singhania family (Raymond Group). Therefore, gifting everything you own may not always be ideal. When you write a Will, it means that you have complete control over your assets during your lifetime.

‍

Certain fields (such as ID and address) of my important people (such as Beneficiaries and Guardian) are blank in my Will document. Is my Will still valid?

Yes, your Will is valid even without these fields being filled in. However, we strongly recommend that you add in as much detail about your important people as possible, to make it easier for your Executor to execute your estate properly.

‍

I’m facing some issues with the app / have a different query. Who can I reach out to?

At Yellow, we have a dedicated team of trained professionals to address all your queries. Please reach out to our Helpdesk for any questions that you may have. You can Chat with us (on mobile and website), call us on 805 007 3434, or email us at helpdesk@getyellow.in.

‍

How much does it cost to book a separate legal expert call?

The cost of a consultation call with a succession planning expert booked separately is Rs 1,000.

‍

My children have been overseas and they have no idea of my assets in India. Won’t my Will itself seem alien to them?

It is common for children to be unaware of the assets owned by parents. In fact, a Will can be a great tool to list all your assets and provide the names and details of the person to whom you would like to pass on each asset; i.e., think of a Will like an asset register. Being overseas, your children may also be unfamiliar with the various legal processes in India that need to be undertaken after a demise. A Will can ensure that your intended heirs can benefit from your assets, as per your wishes in your Will. From this perspective, your choice of Executor is another key point to carefully think through.

What is a Living Will?

A Living Will is a declaration stating the person’s wishes regarding the use of life-prolonging medical treatments if he/she is not in a condition to communicate his/her wishes to the family or medical practitioners. It does not dispose of property nor is it operational after death like a Will. It must be noted that a Living Will is not legally enforceable in India. It only provides guidance to your loved ones and near of kin by stating your wishes regarding the administration of medical treatment.

‍

How do I report a technical issue or bug?

To report any technical issues or bugs, please reach out to our Helpdesk. You can chat with us (available on mobile and on our website), call us on 80500 73434, or email us at helpdesk@getyellow.in.

‍

Can I transfer my Yellow Will to someone else?

Yellow Wills are non-transferable.

‍

Why do you need information about the religion I belong to?

Indian inheritance laws differ based on a person's religion. Therefore, in order to make your Will robust and give you the most relevant information for your specific needs, we ask about the religion you belong to. However, this is optional.

Can I have my Will shipped to an international address?

Unfortunately, we are currently unable to fulfill international shipping requests. Alternatively, you can print out your Will yourself using A4 printer paper. No special or stamp paper required.

‍

What is the refund policy at Yellow?

Yellow charges you only upon creation of your Will. This amount is non-refundable.
