The Will if attested by two witnesses is consdiered to be legally valid.

However the blunt bequest without mentioning the details of the property bequeathed will not enable the beneficiary to enforce the Will.

Therefore the beneficairy can approach court with a petition seeking probate of Will and once probate is granted he will come to know the legal validity of the property bequeathed in the Will.

If the Will is properly drafted and signed by the testator with two witnesses is valid.
