Deceased died domiciled in England. Deceased has an estate consisting of assets in England and assets in India. The deceased made an English Will and limited that Will to her English assets. The deceased was advised to get an Indian will too. Indian Will was executed (in England) days after her English Will but the Indian Will revoked all previous Wills and deals with all of her estate worldwide (this was not her intention and we consider it poor drafting). A few days later she died. (her Indian Will was not signed but thumb printed and witnessed by beneficiary - so involves these issues too)
Beneficiaries of Indian Will are in agreement that they want to carry out the deceased’s wishes as per both of her Wills. We have had conflicting advice from Indian lawyers on how to ensure the deceased’s wishes are carried out.
Have any members encountered issues similar to this and can provide their thoughts on this unusual situation given the issues concerned. Thank you
