A will can be written on a plain paper. It should be signed by the testator and 2 attesting witnesses.

Essentials of will :
It must be a legal declaration of the intention of testator, i.e., the person who makes the will.
The declaration of intention must be with respect to the testator’s property.
The document should express a desire that his intention must be carried into effect after his death
Take effect after death - The intention of the testator must be expressed in clear words on order that the same might be given effect to. There must be express words of bequest.
Testament ' meaning determination of the mind. It is the translation of the Latin word 'Voluntas' which was used by the Romans to express the intention of the testator.
A bare nomination of an executor without giving legacy, or appointing anything to be done by him is sufficient to make a will.

Mr.Vishal is correct.
The intention of the testator must be clear and there shall not be any ambiguity in that or the description of the property.
The witnesses must clearly prove the execution of the WILL and the state of the testator at the time of execution
