My Grandfather gave an unregistered will to my father and in that myself and my own brother signed as witness. My Father expired and also my grandfather expired. After looking to the all the documents that my father kept in the almirah after his demise, I got this will. And remember when me and my own brother, asked to sign we did not know what was that document at that time of signing. We only knew that my grandfather singed in front of us and we both signed in front of him and my father and my mother. Now that after going through the will, we came to know that it is a will and we are the two witness. Please advise if this will is valid, we as the witness are valid and can we probate the will and claim the property to our name.

Yes. The will shall be probated. But where is the property situated?

My Father has 4 brothers, if the grand fathers unregister will is valid, and father expired, can my Uncles( father's brother) protest against the property mentioned in the Will given by my grandfather to my father and both are no more? Please advise

The facts posted are less than convincing.

Whether both of you (witnessing the testator i.e., your grandfather's signing the document) are beneficiaries of the will ?
It is better to seek professional services of a local prudent lawyer for proper advise and necessary proceeding.
