Sir,
we are resident of UP.
My grandfather executed a will on an ancestral property in 1991, nominating my father as sole heir on the whole property.
My grandfather had two sons and four daughters including my father.
My grandfather deceased in 1994.
My uncle (father's brother) had already deceased during 1990.
1. At present, is the validity of will executed by my grandfather can be challenged by any of his four daughters (my aunts)?
2. If the validity is challenged, what could be the consequences?
Please refer the relevant sections of law also.

Nothing shall change if the will is registered or not.
The main thing in the given case is that the property was ancestral in the hands of your grandfather so he could not have executed a will. The will is invalid on that ground but if the same has not been challenged by other legal heirs of your grandfather then their right to challenge get exhausted due to lapse of time.

In other words, Will is valid for bequeathing self-acquired property. Here it is ancestral property and all legal heirs have their rights. If they contest the will is subject to satisfaction of their rights.
