To create a valid will in India, it must be in writing, signed by the testator (the person making the will) in the presence of two witnesses who are not beneficiaries and also sign the will. The will should clearly state your wishes for the distribution of your assets and be attested by two witnesses.

My son secured second rank in the CLAT exam in 2014, qualifying him for admission to the prestigious National Law School of India University (NLSIU) in Bangalore. However, NLSIU mandates on-campus residency, which poses a challenge for my son. He underwent surgery in his childhood for a congenital condition, the outcome of which wasn’t completely successful. This necessitates a special diet and a daily routine that includes sitting on the toilet seat for an hour each morning. I’m seeking advice on whether there are any legal avenues available to exempt my son from the on-campus residency requirement based on these medical conditions.
