Before day Ends, Make an Important Decision
Will Is One of the Most Important Financial Decisions You’ll Ever Make. Most people spend years building wealth, but very few plan what happens to it after them.
A Will is a legal document that clearly states who should receive your assets and in what proportion after your lifetime. It is one of the simplest yet most powerful tools to protect your family.
What Happens If You Do NOT Make a Will?
If a person passes away without a Will, their assets are distributed as per succession laws, not as per personal wishes. For Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Sikhs, this is governed by the Hindu Succession Act, 1956.
Under this law:
Assets are divided among legal heirs in fixed proportions, Spouse, children, and parents all get a share
You cannot choose who gets more or less Step-children, second families, dependents, charities, or friends may get nothing. Disputes between heirs are common and often last for years
👉 Your intention does not matter. The law decides.
