An unregistered will is valid if it conforms to the legal requirement of two witnesses who have signed the will in the presence of the testator and the testator has signed the will in their presence. So if these essentials are not fulfilled then the will cannot be held valid. Under section 18 of the Indian Registration Act, there is no condition which mandates that a will is required to be registered and hence there exists no debate over the actual validity of an unregistered will since the same is valid whether registered or unregistered as long as it resonates with all the points regarding the validity of a will.

Hello,

Yes,  person can give the property to her daughter in law by executing WILL. Further, as per query there is no dispute about it among the legal heirs. So property can be transferred in the name of daughter in law.
