No, even unmarried people can make Will. The validity of a Will is on the conditions that it was made by the person who has attained age of majority, the Will was made by free will, without any focre or under influence or fraud and the testator was having fit mental condition for making such Will. The Will should be written and duly signed by the testator in presence of the witnesses and who also sign in the presence of the testator. The registration of Will is not compulsory under the Registration Act, however it can be got registrated for the sake of keeping it safe for future use after the death of the testator. The named beneficiaries in the Will may or may not be the relatives of the testator.

I agree and appreciate opinion and advise of expert Mr. Vijay Raj Mahajan.
Competent to contract, free consent, without threat, fraud, coercion or allurement of the testator in sound deposing mind are the basic conditions to execute a Will.
