As per Indian succession act and judgement of Gujarat high court, probate is not require for immovable property. You can directly enter your name in city survey record but nowadays city survey Supretendant may be ask for prober certificate from court and when you file a application in city survey that time legel heirs of your Aunty may be oppose and challenge a will in civil court.

Dear Sir,
It is not necessary that the will is registered. As per law the will shall have to be signed and shall have signatures of two witness. In your case since you have a registered will it helps your case.

Probate shall only be required if any third party raises objections to the validity of the will or if the registrar feels that there is something suspicious in the will.
