When you need it

A signed record that a named executor knows of the appointment and is willing to act — not a probate grant, doesn't stop later renunciation. Identify the will, testator, appointment, any conflict (e.g. executor is also a beneficiary).

S.211, ISA 1925: executor is the legal representative for administration; the will must still satisfy ss.59, 63. Same law both jurisdictions; no Estate Office/Sub-Registrar treats this as a transfer. Never include passwords or bank credentials.

LEGAL BASIS

Punjab: Section 211 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925 states the general representative character of an executor/administrator for the deceased's estate, while the appointment itself arises from the will and any required court grant is sought after death under the Act. This private consent is retained with the will; no statutory fee, filing office or appeal route attaches to the consent itself.

Chandigarh: Section 211 applies in the same way. The consent is not a property transfer, Estate Office filing or grant of probate. No statutory fee or appeal route applies to this private consent.
