Unraveling India's Will Dilemma: Pioneering Succession Planning in a Time-Honored Society



In the rich tapestry of modern Indian society, the threads of conservative joint families were woven with meticulous care, forging the bedrock of cultural values that have stood the test of time. As India embarked on a journey of industrialization and urbanization, these once tightly-knit familial bonds began to loosen, giving way to smaller, more autonomous family units. Yet, amid this metamorphosis, one element remained steadfast - an unwavering belief in the religious and social tenets handed down by our forebears.


However, there's a curious silence that envelops one delicate topic - the candid conversation about death. Whether it's the hushed tones at the dinner table or the wary glances at a family gathering, the mere mention of succession planning or wills often ushers in an air of resistance. This resistance stems from deep-rooted superstitions and religious convictions that link discussions about death with ominous forebodings and inauspiciousness.


This paradoxical fusion of traditional beliefs and contemporary aspirations has given rise to a complex quandary in the realm of succession planning in our nation. Initiate a discourse on wills, and you'll find yourself navigating a minefield of objections, with mothers and wives vehemently protesting against invoking malevolent forces. Strangely, despite harboring an ardent desire to alleviate their family's posthumous turmoil, a staggering 74% of individuals have never truly grappled with the notion of preparing their loved ones for the inevitable. A candid revelation from a profound survey conducted by HealthCare at Home unveils the heartfelt aspirations of nearly 85% of respondents, yearning to facilitate a seamless transition for their cherished ones.
