Can a suicide note be treated as a will
A lady while writing a suicide note, also writes her will in the same note and commits suicide. There are no witnesses to this note.
Can this note be treated as a valid will?

Not at all. A Will in order to be valid needs to be attested by two witnesses.

Even if there are witnesses for suicide note, a person cannot be said to be in
a stable state of mind to write a WILL. This is debatable and hard to prove.
How do you distinguish between a person who was murdered for his property and forced
to write the such a note vs. a person writing a WILL and comiting suicide. Hard to say... if anything
such note can be harmful to the benefiicary under the note.

Dear sir, a will is two be attested by 2 witnesses and its recital should be for giving away the properties.
Thanks & Regards,
