1. Yes. This is valid.

2. No.

The legal position in such cases is that if a decesdant is unmarried then such inherited property shall be treated as if his self acquired property and he can do with that property as he wishes.

That will will be discarded by the courts.

legal heirs have their righteous claim over the property.
