The primary aspect of a WILL to be legally valid is 2 persons attesting witness to the will when the testator signs in their presence. When only one person has signed as witness then it is not a valid Will. Will need not be registered. A will which is not registered is valid if it is signed by two attesting witnesses.

Your mother need not ask for anyone's consent to execute a WIll.
