no, the partition deed cannot supercede the will. you may file a petition for probate of will.
if every thing is with the consent of brothers and sisters, it can be done with recital of will in the partition. your wife, will have and rather should cooperate so that peace of the family could be maintained. As regards your apprehension is concerned, tommorrow whether it is will or partition, if one goes to the court, name of your wife cannot escape.
