If the testator has executed and bequeathed all hs self acquired properties to a stranger then his legal heirs could do nothing.

R.Ramachandran (Expert) 03 July 2011
The wife, son(s), daughter(s) etc., are the legal heirs.
However, if the person has executed a WILL in favour of some other other than the legal heirs, then the property covered under the WILL go to the person named in the WILL and not to the legal heirs. If the authenticity of the WILL itself is challenged, then it is altogether a different matter and the court will decide the issue.
