Will--Signatures Not Disputed--Expert Opinion on Handwriting Would be Unnecessary -- Will still required to be proved
When signatures on a Will are not disputed but execution is challenged on lack of free will and consent, expert handwriting opinion is unnecessary. However, admission of signatures does not dispense with statutory proof requirements—the Will must still be proved under Section 68 of the Evidence Act, 1872, and Section 63(c) of the Indian Succession Act, 1925. Admission of signatures does not dispense with the requirement of proving the Will in accordance with provisions governing execution and attestation.
