Legal & Regulatory Framework

Sovereign Governance Standards | Last Updated: April 23, 2026

IT Act 2000

We leverage Section 4 of the Information Technology Act to ensure the legal recognition of electronic records and digital vaulting mechanisms.

DPDP Act 2023

Our platform is built on the principles of "Notice" and "Consent," adhering to the highest standards of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act.

Succession Act 1925

All testamentary templates are structured to follow the Indian Succession Act 1925, providing a robust foundation for legal enforcement.

Evidence Act 1872

Our SHA-256 forensic state hashing is designed to provide "Electronic Evidence" compliant with Section 65B of the Indian Evidence Act.

Jurisdictional Reach

LastWish currently supports legal drafting for 20+ Indian states, including specialized witness requirements for Maharashtra, Karnataka, Delhi, and Tamil Nadu. Our "State Hashing" protocol ensures that your document remains compliant even if you change your residency within India.

Institutional Recognition

We work with major Indian banking and insurance nodes to standardize the "Settlement Notice" protocol. While each institution maintains its own final authority, our platform simplifies the documentation flow, reducing "Claim Friction" for your heirs.
