A, an adult, is very feeble and debilitated in body, but is capable of exercising a judgment as to the proper mode of disposing of his property. He makes a will in due form. Under the Indian Succession Act, 1925, what is its validity?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Illustration (iii) to section 59 holds that such a will "is a valid will". The test under section 59 is soundness of mind, that is, the ability to judge how to dispose of one's property, and not physical strength. The Act requires neither a medical certificate nor registration for a will to be valid.
