HI,
The WILL under law is not required to be compulsory registered. It can be executed even on a plain paper and it can be fully valued even if unregistered. However, in order to avoid future discrepancies and confusion and confirm the validity of a Will the will is required to be attested by witnesses, so as to confirm the contents of the will.
