A takes a property on lease for 99 years from the crown.
A makes a will that after his death his daughter B shall be the owner of the property and after the death of B, her son C and daughter in law D will own the property.
B makes a will that after her death C and D will be the owners of the property and after their death their two children will share the property in a particular ratio.
Also during this period D dies without a will and the lease expires. C gets the same renewed in his name and converts it to a free hold property. Then C dies without a will.
The renewed lease does mention the fact that it is being renewed.
Can B make a will for the property?
If B can make a will is it valid on renewal of lease ?

A’s Will will be valid for 99 years and till the enjoyment of the property by all those who have been mentioned in the will.
No other person can make a valid Will for the property during that period.
