Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in India

Widow inherited property after husband died in 1968 according to section 6,of hindu seccession act in family property(one house) and huf continued.she continued to be a member of the family and the property including that of her was held by the family. She made a registered will in aug 1983 bequeathed her share in this house property to younger son.In 1989 feb the house property was partitioned by delhi high court and widow got 1/3rd share in lease hold rights and super structure.Now my question is could widow make a registered will when she was member of huf.In income tax huf returns filed but in land and development office individual names of three owners are mentioned,widow and two sons. in land and development office huf is not mentioned.Widow died in 2007. The property is in new Delhi.

My second question is why L.d.o. does not substitute name according to registered will since DDA does it.Why two laws for Delhi.
