The registered WILL fetches more reliance and is unlikely to be set aside, if contested.
If challenged the WILL may have to be probated.
Get the property mutated in your name by submitting the copy of the WILL to the authorities under whose jurisdiction the property falls.
The property that comes to you thru WILL becomes self acquired.
You can file for dividing the share of jointly held property.
You may approach an able lawyer dealing with property/family/revenue/civil matters with all documents on record and proceed further under the advise of your lawyer.
