Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India

Particular case at Tamilnadu: Person A's sister B expired after writing a WILL in favor of her brother A with whom she was staying. But even before the WILL registered both A and B expired in short duration of time.

Pls advise. Whether this unregistered WILL is a valid document ? Can Person A's Legal heirs apply for patta name transfer ? is there any legal limitations as Person B's husband's sister's legal heirs might approach for share or ownership.

Duly executed and attested unregistered Will is valid.

If B died before A, then legal heirs of A may apply for transfer of property in their names.

B's legal heirs may dispute the Will.
