Re: Validity of a WILL
If valid suspecion exist and the execution of will is suspicious then other sons or legal heirs including daughters can challenge the will. But prior to that certain steps are required to be taken to preserve the property of deceased.
Re: Validity of a WILL
Registration of a Will not compulsory. In case, you doubt genuiness of the Will, you can challenge the same before the Court. As far as justification of unequal distribution of estate under Will, same would depend on the facts and circumstances of every case - in some cases unequal distribution without any casue was held to be a ground to doubt genuiness of the Will.
