Anyone adult with sane mind can become witness. Even the beneficiary is a competent witness.

Normally the Advocates avoid signing as Witness.

Rajendra K Goyal (Expert) 26 November 2014
If the drafting advocate has signed as witness there is no irregularity.

Dear Sir Some more thoughts are coming ,

How can suspicion be cleared that WILL is valid and genuine .

what are the facts/instances one keep in mind while replying in cross examination .

Any documents to be carried along by witness at registrar office.

only 1 son is beneficiary in WILL and rest children got the shop but it is not mentioned in registered WILL

WILL is registered in 1988 and transferred to D-1 in year 2005 after death of his mother .

Dear Sir,

Is probate required is DELHI or NOC is required from legal heirs .

The registered Will can be acted upon as it is if nobody objects to such act, especially legal heirs. Under this situation even probate is not necessary. Based on the Will mutation of records also can be applied which will signify that the Will has been acted upon or enforced.
