Yes, provided it was duly read and signed by the testator in presence of witnesses who too signed it in presence of the testator. The testator was or age of majority and mentally fit to make the Will, and was not forced to or by fraud made to make it. Registration of Will is not compulsory either with Registrar or with Notary therefore evev if it is unregistered will not make it void if other conditions as mentioned above are followed.

If the will is made by a sound minded person without any undue pressure and duly signed by the testator in the presence of two of the witnesses who signed on it as a witnesses is a valid will , registration of will in sub registrar office or get it notarized it not mandatory.

Valid will require s signatures of the testator and two witnesses.It isn't mandatory to get registered will with sub registrar or notary.

Siddharth Srivastava (Advocate)     23 September 2017

Yes, such WILL is valid for all purposes.

To act upon the WILL it should be valid.

The paramters for a WILL to be valid have been exlpained above.

It is not mandatory to register the WILL.

Signing before a Notary is not registartion of WILL.

WILL is registered by registering authority.

Notary is not registering authority.
