Will is not required to be registered, it is perfectly valid even if not registered.
It is duty of the executor to bring the existence of the will in light of all concerned, and devide the property of the decesed as per his wishes. For that he is required to obtain probate and letter of administration from court of law.
However, if some beneficiary doubt the genuineness of the will, or capacity of the testator to bequeth property through will, the application for probate can be challenged.
If the will is not produced, the property shall be devided as per the provision of Indian Succession Act.

you have not stated to which religion your relative belong to, as per my knowledge, a hindu can not bequeth the ancestral properties through the will as the properties are not his absolute properties.

Yes if the property is ancestral, it can not be given away in will, but the person can only give his share in the property through will.

Registration of will is not mandatory.
You may apply in the competent civil court for the probate and letter of administration.
If the property is ancestral, the will can be made for the share of the property of the person concerned.
