“Following are the three essential characteristics of any will
(i) There must be a legal declaration of the testator’s intention
(ii) The declaration must be with respect to the property of the testator
(iii) The declaration must be to the effect that it is to operate after the death of the testator i.e. it should be revocable during the life of the testator.
If any of the above three essentials is lagging, the document is not a Will.”
