Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in India

We have a copy of my fathers Army Privilege Will, where he bequeaths all his movable & immovable property to his Wife, my mother way back in 1978, when he was posted in Siachin Border Front, during tensions between India-China.

Now after all these years he has passed away after acquiring a couple of properties, leaving no other Will or documents.

Can we use the same Will, that isn�t registered with any Sub Registrar, but is available in Army records, to transact on his Bank A/c's, Shares, Properties, to transfer all onto my mothers name?

Since all the above was acquired much after his retirement and in recent times, would we require a succession certificate to liquidate his A/c's / Demat A/c Shares, transfer the properties and keep his Proprietorship firm business running as it is.

What would be the best procedure to follow?

Thanks and much obliged.
