If the will is duly made (with two witnesses AND SIGNED AND EXECUTED), it will be enforced by the court.
But it depends upon the property also like if the property is ancestral, will is not going to be worthy in the court of law.

Duly made means it must be attested by two witnesses.
Registration is optional but it advisable to get it registered.
It can be registered even after the death of the Testator.
1.Who is in the possession of the will?
2. Who are the persons fighting for the property?
3. The testator doesnt have any sibling or what?
If the property is ancestral then a testator can give only that part of property in will, which is his share in the property and not the whole.

Dear Mr.Karan, as our Mr.Manish Singh is rightly told ask the holder of the will to approach the appropriate court for the enforcement. The applicant/plaintiff can plead the court of law to enforce the same and the other parties / defendants can file their objections and the cour will decide accordingly after the enquires made with the parties concerned including the witnessess of the will. If at the earliest no possibility of any solution is arrived for the maintenance of the property the holder of the will can get the administrative rights from the court of law interimly.

Registration of will is not mandatory.
You may apply in the competent civil court for the probate and letter of administration.
If the property is ancestral, the will can be made for the share of the property of the person concerned.
