A will can be written on a simple paper. It can be hand-written or typed. There is no specific format for drafting a will. The important thing is that the intention of the testator about the bequest should be clear. What is the property he /she  want to bequeath and to whom, these 2 things should be clear from the wordings. The testator should have the legal right to bequeath the property.

The will should be signed by the testator and 2  witnesses to constitute a valid will. Registration of will is optional, however, it is advisable to register the will.

It is not at all necessary to make a video at the time of making a will.
