Hello,
It is always better to execute will and register it. As per me, Will will prevail above the nomination in mutual fund. However in order to avoid conficts ask her to delete the nomination in mutual fund.

Nominee is only trustee/custodian of decesed property and not owner of that property.Nominee has to return the deceased property to his legal heirs or to person in whose favour deceased has executed will so better execute registered will in favour of person whom you wish to declare owner of your property.

The Hon'ble Delhi High court held that nomination is not a Will in law and in the absence of any Will, only legal heirs (as per the Hindu Succession Act) shall be entitled to inherit the property of the deceased.
