Four problems every senior citizen deserves to solve

Dying intestate: the default India gives you

Without a will, the Indian Succession Act, 1925 (or personal law) decides how your estate is distributed. Intended heirs are often excluded; genuine dependents left out.

Gift deeds that weren’t actually gifts

Transfers under coercion or without free consent can be set aside. The Senior Citizens Act, 2007 allows revocation of a transfer if the transferee fails to provide basic amenities.

Power of Attorney misused

A broad general POA can authorise sale, mortgage and banking transactions. Without boundaries and revocation language, it becomes a blank cheque.

Maintenance not provided

Under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007, parents have a statutory right to maintenance from children. Tribunals decide within 90 days. Few know this exists.

Frequently asked questions

The questions seniors and their children ask us.

Registration is optional under the Registration Act, 1908, but strongly recommended. A registered will is harder to challenge, and the sub-registrar keeps a certified copy. Even unregistered wills are valid if properly attested by two witnesses.
