Will can be executed by any person in the presence of at least two witnesses. He may get it registered or not and in both the eventualities, the will shall be valid. However, it is better to get a will registered because in case of challenge, a registered will comparatively get more weightage due to presumption attached to the endorsement of the Sub-Registrar.

A hand-written will is equally enforceable as a typed or computer-typed will.

Wills of all kinds may be challenged and the person in whose favour the will was executed will have to prove it by producing at least one of the attesting witnesses to the will.
