Processes built around your agreements and the regulatory norms that apply to them.
Strict conditions, restricted movement and a neutral hand on every release.
An Escrow Agent or Trustee is a neutral third party that holds funds, assets, or critical materials (like source code) on behalf of transacting parties, releasing them strictly upon the occurrence of pre-agreed contractual or regulatory conditions.
Our platform ensures seamless, compliant, and secure execution of financial agreements. From escrow arrangements to debenture, security, share pledge and securitisation trusteeship, we provide the digital backbone that restores confidence between parties.

A clear, documented path so every party knows what happens, and when.
The parties sign an escrow agreement that defines assets, conditions, timelines and release instructions.
Onboarding and documentation are completed, and a dedicated escrow arrangement is opened.
Assets are received and held. Documentary proof and milestone certificates are reviewed against the agreement.
On satisfaction of conditions, we release strictly as agreed and maintain the audit trail and reports.
An escrow agent holds funds, assets or critical materials for two or more parties and releases them only when the conditions in the escrow agreement are met. It stays neutral and does not favour any party.
Cash, bank guarantees, listed and unlisted securities, and intellectual property such as software source code, depending on the structure agreed between the parties.
Funds and assets stay frozen until the parties give joint written instructions, or an arbitration award or court order is produced. The escrow agent does not take sides. You can see this in the demo at the top of the page.
Both are neutral fiduciaries. An escrow agent typically holds assets for a specific transaction until conditions are met. A trustee, such as a debenture, security, share pledge, securitisation or AIF trustee, acts on an ongoing basis for the benefit of a group such as lenders, debenture holders or unit-holders.
Yes. Securus Wills covers online will writing, succession planning, registration assistance, safe custody and probate support. See the Wills page for details.

Whatever the asset or structure, these responsibilities define how we act.
We act strictly as a neutral stakeholder. We cannot favour the buyer over the seller, or the beneficiary over the grantor.
Safe holding of cash, bank guarantees, listed or unlisted securities, and intellectual property or source code.
We review documentary proof, milestone certificates or legal triggers, exactly as defined in the escrow agreement, before we act.
Only permitted debits and credits are processed. No ad-hoc withdrawals, set-offs or lien exercises by the holding bank unless mandated by law or court.
Tamper-proof, time-stamped transaction logs, with periodic statutory or auditor certificates submitted where applicable (for example under RBI, PPI or PA norms).
In a stalemate or dispute, funds stay frozen until joint written instructions, an arbitration award or a court order is produced.
Transaction funds, deposits and milestone payments.
Guarantees held as security for performance.
Listed and unlisted securities held in custody.
Critical materials released on defined triggers.
Everything that follows is decided here, so it is written down clearly.
We complete diligence and prepare the arrangement before anything is deposited.
Assets are held safely while we test each condition against the agreement.
When conditions are met, we release exactly as agreed, and close the file cleanly.
Share your transaction details and we will come back with a recommended structure.
An independent trustee for debentures that are not listed on an exchange. We hold the security, watch the issuer and act for debenture holders when it matters.
For debentures that are not listed on a stock exchange, such as privately placed non-convertible debentures (NCDs), the debenture trustee is the investors' single, neutral representative. We act for the debenture holders under the trust deed.
We act as debenture trustee for secured and unsecured debentures that are issued by private placement and are not listed.
Whether there are a few investors or many, they act through one trustee. That keeps decisions, notices and meetings orderly.
We monitor whether the issuer keeps to the trust deed and the debenture terms, and we act for holders when something goes wrong.
You share the term sheet, the issue size and the security. We tell you what we need and quote.
We sign the appointment and consent letters and review the draft trust deed.
The trust deed and security documents are finalised and executed, and the charge is created.
We track covenants, payments and security cover, and report to holders.
On a default or a holder request we call meetings and act on the instructions we receive.
We confirm full redemption, release the security and close the mandate.
This is a summary. Exactly which rules apply depends on how the debentures are issued, who the issuer is, and what the documents say.
Debentures and trustees are dealt with in the Companies Act, 2013 (Section 71) and the Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules, 2014, which also cover security creation and charge registration.
The trust deed is the contract between the issuer and the trustee for the holders. It sets the covenants, the events of default, the voting thresholds and the trustee's powers.
The SEBI (Debenture Trustees) Regulations, 1993 and SEBI circulars govern debenture trustees, and some of them also reach unlisted debt. Whether they apply depends on the issue.
Listed debt follows exchange disclosure rules. For unlisted debentures there is less public information, so a trustee's own monitoring and reporting matter more to investors.
Every mandate is run on the terms of the agreements signed by the parties. Securus gives no legal advice to issuers or investors.
Tell us about the issue size, the security and the timeline.
An independent fiduciary that holds, monitors and, when the documents require it, enforces security on behalf of lenders and investors.
A security trustee holds the security for a loan on behalf of the lenders. The lenders deal with one trustee instead of each holding their own charge, and the borrower deals with one party for every security matter.
The trustee holds the mortgage, hypothecation, pledge and other security for all the lenders together, under one security trust deed.
When several banks or financial institutions lend together, the trustee takes instructions from them as per the intercreditor terms and acts for all of them equally.
When the debt is repaid, or part of it is, the trustee releases the security in the way the agreements allow, and files what has to be filed.
Which security can be created, and how it is enforced, depends on the asset and the law that applies. Every mandate is run on the terms of the agreements signed by the parties.
Tell us about the lenders, the security and the timeline.
Independent trusteeship for securitisation transactions: holding the pool for investors, watching the servicer and reporting on every payment.
In a securitisation, a lender or company (the originator) transfers a pool of receivables, such as loans, to a special purpose vehicle (SPV) set up as a trust. The trust issues securities to investors. The trustee holds the pool for those investors.
We act as trustee of the securitisation trust, holding the receivables and the rights over them for the benefit of investors.
The assets sit in the trust, apart from the originator. The trustee makes sure they are used only for the investors, as the documents say.
The trustee watches the servicer and the cash flows, and acts for investors if the transaction does not perform as promised.
This is a summary. Which rules apply depends on the originator, the structure and how the securities are issued.
The SPV is usually set up as a trust under the Indian Trusts Act, 1882. The trust deed is the main document that defines the trustee's powers and duties.
Where banks and NBFCs are the originators, the RBI's directions on securitisation of standard assets and on transfer of loan exposures set the conditions for the transaction.
Where the securities are listed or offered under the securitised debt instruments framework, SEBI's regulations and circulars also apply.
The assignment agreement, servicing agreement and trust deed decide who is responsible for what. The trustee acts only within them.
Every mandate is run on the terms of the agreements signed by the parties. Securus gives no legal advice to originators or investors.
Tell us about the originator, the pool and the investors.
The primary fiduciary of an Alternative Investment Fund in India: safeguarding unit-holder interests, ring-fencing scheme assets and overseeing the Investment Manager and Sponsor.
In India, an AIF Trustee (structured as a dedicated trustee company, corporate trustee, or designated board or partners, depending on whether the AIF is set up as a trust, company or LLP) acts as the primary fiduciary.
Their mandate is to safeguard unit-holder interests, ensure strict ring-fencing of scheme assets, and oversee the Investment Manager (IM) and Sponsor.

Securus Wills makes will writing and succession planning in India simple. Answer guided questions from home, get a draft reviewed by an advocate, then sign it with two witnesses. Plans start at ₹2,500 plus GST.
If you die without a will, your property passes by the succession rules that apply to you. Those shares may not match your wishes, and your family may have to wait months or years for the paperwork.
Name people, charities and the share each receives, including a backup if someone is no longer alive.
Record your choice of guardian and how money for the children should be managed.
Appoint the person you trust to carry out the will and deal with banks, registrars and courts.
A clear, properly signed will leaves less room for argument between relatives.
You never need to visit an office. You only meet your witnesses, and the registrar if you choose to register.
Choose the plan that fits and send a short request. An advocate calls within one working day to confirm the plan and sends you a private link to the questionnaire.
Your details, your spouse, children and other relatives. You also record your religion, because it decides which succession law applies.
Bank accounts, deposits, property, shares, insurance, vehicles, lockers and digital assets. For each, name who receives it and a backup.
Name the executor and a backup, a guardian for minor children if needed, and a residuary beneficiary for anything you forgot to list.
We prepare the draft in plain language. An advocate reviews it, we send it as PDF, and you ask for changes until you are happy.
Print it, sign on every page in front of two witnesses, and they sign in front of you. We send a checklist so nothing is missed. Registration and safe custody are optional.
After you sign, keep the original safe and tell your executor where it is. A life event such as a marriage, a child or a new property is a good time to update it with a codicil or a new will.
The plans differ in how much detail they cover and how much of an advocate's time you get. Prices are professional fees in rupees and exclude GST and government charges.

Most disputes about wills come from mistakes made on the day it is signed. Follow these steps in order.
Under the Indian Succession Act, 1925, a valid will needs these essentials. Tick what you have covered.
Tick each item as you confirm it.
A will (testamentary disposition) is governed differently depending on the testator's religion.
Governs wills for Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs and Jains (through Section 57 and Schedule III), as well as Christians, Parsis and Jews.
Muslims are governed by Muslim personal law (Shariat), which restricts testamentary disposition to a maximum of one-third of net assets after funeral and debt expenses, unless consenting heirs agree otherwise.
Registration is optional under Section 18 of the Registration Act, 1908, and unregistered wills are legally valid. However, registration strongly deters challenges regarding genuineness, forgery or mental capacity. Wills do not require stamp duty.
| Feature | Registered will | Unregistered will |
|---|---|---|
| Legal validity | Valid | Valid, if execution and attestation prove compliance |
| Evidentiary weight | Strong presumption of due execution; harder to challenge for forgery | Higher burden of proof on the person relying on it to dispel suspicious circumstances |
| Confidentiality before death | Sealed and recorded at the Sub-Registrar | Private, with a risk of loss, tampering or concealment |
| Mandatory? | No | No |
At the Sub-Registrar of Assurances with jurisdiction over the testator's residence or property location. The testator can also deposit a sealed cover containing the will with the Registrar (Section 42, Registration Act).
Probate is a court's certification of a will. For wills of Hindus, Christians, Parsis and Jains it is mandatory in certain cases, for example where the will was made in, or covers immovable property in, Chennai, Mumbai or Kolkata. Elsewhere it is generally optional. A lawyer can confirm what applies to you.
The person named by the testator to carry out the will and administer the estate. If none is named, heirs seek Letters of Administration.
A person who inherits assets under the will.
A later legal instrument that modifies, adds to or revokes part of an existing will. It needs the same execution and attestation formalities.
Certification of a will by a court of competent jurisdiction.
A living testator can revoke a will at any time by making a later will or codicil that expressly revokes it, or by destroying, tearing, burning or mutilating it with the intention to revoke it. Marriage: the effect of marriage on an existing will depends on the testator's personal law, and personal laws or later family settlements or statutes may also interact with estate claims, so take advice.
The person making the will.
No. A will does not attract stamp duty and can be made on plain paper.
No. An unregistered will is legally valid if it is signed and witnessed correctly. Registration is optional, but it gives a strong presumption that the will was properly made and makes it harder to challenge.
Any two adults of sound mind who see you sign. They should not be people who receive something under the will, or their spouses.
An executor is the person who carries out your will. You should name one, and a backup. Without one, your family may have to apply to a court for Letters of Administration.
No. A nominee on a bank account, insurance policy or demat account is often only a person who receives the money on behalf of the legal heirs. Your will decides who is entitled to it, so keep the two aligned.
Probate is a court's certificate that a will is genuine. It is compulsory in some cases and places, and not in others. We tell you whether it is likely to apply to your will.
Yes, at any time. You can sign a new will that cancels the old one, or add a codicil for a small change. Each must be signed and witnessed in the same way.
Different rules apply. Muslim personal law limits what can be left by will, and Goa has its own civil code. We recommend the Advocate-drafted plan, so an advocate can advise on your situation.
Yes, in many cases. How and where you sign matters, so choose the Advocate-drafted plan and tell us your country.
Please do not put asset details or ID numbers in the enquiry form. After you enquire, we send a private link where you can share what the advocate needs.
Share your name and number and an advocate will call you within one working day. Plans start at ₹2,500 plus GST.
Securus Wills prepares will documents and gives general guidance. It does not replace legal advice on your particular circumstances. The law that applies to you depends on your religion, where your property is and other facts, so please speak to an advocate for anything unusual.
