Procedure for execution of Unregistered will and property division
Answers (2)
An unregistered will is valid if it conforms to 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. 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.

The internet is not a lawyer and neither are you.
Talk to a real lawyer about your legal issue.
Irrespective of the fact if the will is registered or unregistered, the procedure is same.
The probate proceedings may be instituted either in the court of District Judge or in the High Court.
The expense involved may depend upon number of heirs; and the nature of dispute/contest. The expense should be considerably less if the will is not contested.
