even if the will is not signed by the sister, the same cannot be rendered invalid. even if sister files the case, the chances are pretty less of her winning the case.

the will need not be registered. the will need not be signed by sister. payment by father is irrelevant. you need not take any action. if sister does make any claim she will not succeed
