The concept of will is unclear to many of the people out there. I see that you among many others have asked is a will a legal document or not. Well, I believe I can help you out here. Unfortunately, I had to deal with will and legal issues related to it in the past. But I have learned so much from that experience. Let me share it with you.

According to Indian Succession Act 1925, a will is a legal DECLARATION of the intention of the maker or in this case testator to dispose of his/her property, assets, shares, liabilities, etc. after death.

That being said, to answer is will a legal document you should know that there are certain requirements that need to be fulfilled before. To consider will as a legal document, the testator must sign it or affix his/her thumb impression. It should also be attested by two or more witnesses. 

It is advisable to get the will registered to ensure that it is not bypassed or wronged. It will also help in upholding the wishes of the dead. I hope this resolves your query on is a will a legal document.
