It is enough if you sign the will in the presence of 2 witnesses and the witness also sign the will. Signature of notary, lawyer, doctor is not needed for the validity of a will.

A witness can be any body having attained the age of majority and have good mental health.

Registration of Will is optional but registration of will help you certainly is case you lost your will or add evidentary value of the will. The law has not specify the kinds of witness and certainly attesting witness like lawyer/Notary or doctors will be good witnesses.
