Registration of will

This query is : Resolved
My client's father's will states that unless the will is registered it won't be valid. Registration of will is optional under the Registration Act. In the foregoing circumstances can the will be executed even though it is not registered as required to be done under the will?
I would be grateful if you could help me with the relevant provisions too. Thank You.

1. If there is such an express connotation made by the testator in the Will document then of course if the Will is not registered then it will be void.

The intention/wish of the testator doesnot change the course of law.
Since registration of Will is not mandatory, none of it does not make it invalid. The Will is very much valid.

The clause of the will is not in accordance to law, it is not applicable.
