A Will in India typically costs Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 50,000 or more through a traditional lawyer. An online Will with advocate review can cost a fraction of that. At Saral Will, a lawyer-reviewed Will is Rs. 3,999 + 18% GST (Rs. 4,719 in total).
Price depends on how complex your family and assets are, who drafts the Will, and what extras you need. Here is where the money goes, so you can decide what makes sense for you.
What affects the cost of a Will?
Who drafts it. A traditional lawyer, an online platform, or you.
How complex your estate is. One flat and two bank accounts is simple. Several properties, a business and relatives in different countries is not.
Legal review. Whether an advocate checks the final document.
Extras. Registration, probate, consultation time and later changes.
Your city. Fees in metros are usually higher.

You pay once. There is no subscription or automatic renewal.
Are there other costs?
Stamp paper: Not needed. A Will on plain paper is valid.
Registration: Optional. If you choose to register, there are government fees, and they vary by state.
Witnesses: Free. Choose two adults who are not beneficiaries.
Printing: A few rupees. You must print the Will and sign it by hand in front of two witnesses.
Probate: Only needed in certain cases, and it is a separate court process. See what probate is.
Is a cheaper Will riskier?
Price on its own is not the risk. What matters is whether the Will is:
Structured under Indian succession law
Reviewed by an advocate
Signed and witnessed correctly
Complete, with an executor, backup beneficiaries and a residuary clause
A low-cost Will that meets all four is better than an expensive one that doesn’t. A Will with errors can cost your family far more later through delays and disputes.
When is a lawyer worth the extra cost?
Consider a full legal consultation if you:
Own property in more than one country
Have a business with partners
Expect a family dispute
Want a trust
Have a blended family
The Saral Will + Consultation plan is a middle option if you want expert input without a full law firm engagement.
