Quick Summary

An unregistered will, even with witnesses, may not be accepted by banks for releasing funds. While legally valid, the bank may require a grant of probate or a succession certificate from the court. It's advisable to consult a local lawyer to navigate the process of obtaining the necessary legal documentation to claim the deceased's assets.

If the Will is the last will, it is valid if it is otherwise in order even though unregistered. You consult a local lawyer to get a succession certificate from a civil court.

Will either registered or unregistered if it is duly signed by testator and two witnesses is absolutely valid in eye of law.Once it has come to notice of bank that account holder has executed will then beneficiary of will has to get probate of will and then and then bank will release deposited amount to beneficiary.

Well advised by expert Mr. KAVK Satyanarayana and Mr. Bhartesh Goyal, I agree.

Get the will probated seeking professional services of a local prudent lawyer. However, it do not require succession certificate.

The unregistered Will is very much valid. The wife may obtain a probate/succession certificate from the competent Court and produce the same before the Court.
