Validity of Will - The courts have examined the genuineness and execution of wills, considering evidence such as attesting witnesses, signatures, and related documents. For instance, in the case involving Ext.B2, a notarized copy, the court upheld the validity despite the original will not being produced, emphasizing the importance of corroborative evidence NALINI VISWAMBARAN vs K PARAMESWARA MENON - Kerala. Similarly, in a case where a will was challenged as forged, the court scrutinized familial ties and procedural compliance to determine authenticity Promila Kapoor vs State - Delhi.

Evidence and Witnesses - To establish the validity of a will, the examination of attesting witnesses and their testimonies is crucial. The court often relies on witness credibility and the circumstances of execution to confirm authenticity Reba Mukherjee VS Rajiv Behl - Delhi.

Power of Attorney - The competence of attorneys to depose or act on behalf of principals is limited to acts performed after the conferment of authority. They cannot testify about acts prior to that, and their authority must be properly documented and validated Harbans Singh (deceased) through LRs VS Sarwan Singh - Punjab and Haryana, Jogendra Kishore Roy VS Salamat Khan - Calcutta.
