Validity of a registered will after an unregistered will in future

A person registered his property a long time back too one of his successors through a Registered sealed cover will. Means cover willbe opened after life of tha person and details will be registered in registrar office and document will be handedover to the successor.

Now he changed his mind and executed an unregistered will with all valid conditions and mentioned even all of previous wills both registered and registered will be cancelled.

What is the status of Old registered will? Because that was registered.

Is it necessary to go for sub registrar office and give any letter there to cancel the old wil or old will. get cancelled automatically

Request you to clarify.

Regards

The earlier registered will shall stand superseeded by fresh unregistered Will.

No need to file cancellation of previous will, which shall be part of history and become invalid.

Last will shall prevail whether it is  registered or unregistered. Registration of will is not compulsory. So all previous wills shall be deemed cancelled.

No need to cancel the previous  will it will be  automatically deemed cancelled when superseded by later will.

Once he executed a new Will whether by a registered instrument or by an unregisterd deed, it shall prevail and as the previous Will is mentioned as cancelled, the prebvious registered will shall stand cancelled automatically.

Dear Sir,(s),

There is will on which clearly we can see signature of the executor and paper quality both are old 

But drafting and evidence signatures looks new.

Preservor of this will who took care for more than 12 years ,  ( what he is saying) took care this and sent to the one of the  beneficiaries through registered post and this preservor is not available now.

Will had all the valid. conditions.

How can we know the genuiniy of this Will?

Pl  suggest if there is any procedure/ method  to get clarity of time lag between executor signature and actually drafting and evidences  signatures of this will 

Regards
