My elderly uncle in Kolkata wants to give me his house. He's prepared a will for this. However, a friend advised me that a will might not be the best option, suggesting a gift deed instead. He worries that other relatives might challenge the will in court

My elderly uncle in Kolkata wants to give me his house. He’s prepared a will for this. However, a friend advised me that a will might not be the best option, suggesting a gift deed instead. He worries that other relatives might challenge the will in court, accusing me of influencing my uncle. My uncle and I are confused. Which is the safer route? Some say both options are good, while others advocate for the gift deed. Any advice?

The name discrepancy on your documents could pose an issue during your application for Canadian study visa. You can submit a legal affidavit, along with copies of your updated documents, to establish the connection between your old and new names. This affidavit, attested by a magistrate, should clearly state the reason for the name change and confirm that both names belong to you.
