How Raj & Anjali planned their legacy
Real families learn estate planning the practical way. Raj in Mumbai and Anjali in Bengaluru represent two common Indian profiles — both use the quiz to understand wills, trusts, and estate transfer before making decisions.
- Wills: Raj (45), a Mumbai entrepreneur with two young children, learns a will must be signed by two witnesses and can name a guardian for his minor children — demystified through the quiz. Track assets in the Wealth Wallet.
- Trusts: Anjali (38), a Bengaluru software professional, discovers a trust can hold assets during her lifetime, avoid probate, and continue after death — ideal for her differently-abled brother’s care.
- Executors & Power of Attorney: Raj learns he needs an executor (his elder sister) and a durable power of attorney in case of incapacity.
- Beneficiaries: Anjali learns to name contingent beneficiaries for her retirement accounts — they override wills. Track investments in the Investment Wallet.
- Tax implications: India has no inheritance tax, but income from inherited assets is taxable per slab — a key insight from the quiz.
- Hints & explanations: When stuck, Raj uses hints to understand “probate” and “pour-over will”. Anjali benefits from in-depth explanations after each answer.
- Progress tracking: The score and streak motivate both to complete all five questions, reinforcing learning through repetition.
Legacy planning best practices for India
Nine rules that turn quiz knowledge into a real estate plan. Each one has a linked wallet or simulator so you can act immediately after learning.
- Draft a will — even with modest assets
- Consider trusts for privacy & probate avoidance
- Name beneficiaries — they override wills
- Draft a will: Even with modest assets, a will names guardians for minor children and prevents family disputes.
- Consider trusts: Trusts avoid probate, protect privacy, and provide for beneficiaries with special needs. Track your assets in Wealth Wallet.
- Name beneficiaries: For insurance and retirement accounts — they override your will. Update after every major life event.
- Durable power of attorney: Appoint someone to manage finances and healthcare if you become incapacitated.
- No inheritance tax: India abolished estate duty in 1985. However, income generated from inherited assets is taxable per your slab rate. Per Ministry of Law and Justice.
- Gift tax rules: Gifts from relatives are tax-free. From non-relatives, amounts above ₹50,000 may be taxable in the recipient’s hands.
- LTCG on inherited assets: The cost of acquisition is the original owner’s cost — key to calculating capital gains tax correctly.
- Communicate: Tell your executor and family where documents are stored. A plan no one knows about is no plan at all.
- Review every 5 years: Or after major life events — marriage, children, property purchase, business formation.
