If there are two properties situated in India, then they should be mentioned in a single will only. If two wills are made, then only second will shall be operative by law and first will shall be ineffective and shall be dealt with by the succession law. So all the properties should be covered by a single will only.

agree with amol

A lot thanks amol sir.......... but what does it exactly mean that 1st deed becomes ineffective under the succession law?

The answer by Mr Amol is completely wrong! There is no requirement under the Indian Law that all the properties should be mentioned in one single will!

It is perfectly permissible under the law for a person to make concurrent wills for separate and distinct properties, as well as appoint different executors for the same.

The intention of the testator is paramount. If the testator has made two wills regarding separate properties, and there is no cross-mention of properties in either will, no court can say that consider only the last will. Then what to do with the second property?

So it is permissible under the law to make concurrent wills, and it is advisable for the testator to make separate wills for separate properties, particularly if the executors and beneficiaries are different!
