Legalisation of will

I am the second wife of my husband, who legally divorced his wife before marrying me.  He has a daughter in his first marriage.  She was brought up by us and given in marriage in 1992.

I have two sons and one daughter.

My husband and myself jointely executed and registered a will in 2009.

My husband expired in 2010. 

I want to legalise the will and bring it into force. All the properties are jointly owned by my husband and myself. 

What are the steps needed to legalise the will?

One of my friends suggested that I can file for partition since all the properties are jointly owned by us and only my husband's portion of the will is active.  How far is this applicable in my case?

All properties in the will are self acquired by us jointly.  There are no ancestral properties
