Hi, 1. Suppose one class 1 heir of a deceased was told either verbally or by virtue of a written note/letter (NOT a registered will) ,that he/she would inherit a larger portion of his (deceased's movable and immovable property), is there any validity to such claims in the eyes of the law at all?

A will needs to be specific about  the distribution of property after the death of the testator. A will needs to be signed by the testator in the presence of two witnesses. The signature of the two witnesses is also mandatory. Registration of a will is not necessary. A non- registered is also a valid will.
