2. Eligibility

To use Wasiyat, you must:

• Be at least 18 years of age
• Be a resident of India, or a Non-Resident Indian (NRI) or Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) with assets, heirs, or an estate connection in India
• Document generation is available nationwide, across all Indian states and union territories. Dedicated legal guides are published for a subset of states, and our deepest, court-specific document templates currently cover Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh, with more states being added
• Have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement under applicable Indian law

3. Account Responsibilities

• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, including your password
• We strongly recommend enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA) for additional account security
• You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account. Notify us immediately at security@wasiyat.in if you suspect unauthorized access
• You must provide accurate and complete information when creating your account and keep it up to date
• You may not share your account or allow others to access your account. Each subscription is for a single user, except the Vault Family plan, which permits access for designated family members, or for a professional advisor managing estate plans on behalf of their own clients under Section 5 below
• Your estate data is unrecoverable if you lose all of your access methods. Your estate is encrypted under a key derived from your password (or Estate Passphrase). We do not hold a master key that can unlock it. If you lose your password, your one-time recovery key, and every delegate (such as an executor) you have named, your encrypted data cannot be recovered by you, by us, or by anyone else, permanently and with no exceptions. Generating and safely storing your recovery key, and keeping at least one delegate's access current, is your responsibility
