It should be attested by two or more witnesses, each of whom should have seen the testator signing the Will. Though the registration of a Will is not compulsory , it can be registered with the sub-registrar .

Defendant legal heirs have to be brought on record

The legal heirs of the defendant have to be impleaded as necessary party to the suit.

This has to be done by the plaintiff side by filing various applications namely under the provisions of 1) Order 22 Rule 4 of CPC for impleadment of LRs of the deceased defendant; 2) Order 22n Rule 9 to set aside abatement if the period of limitation is 60 days from the date of abatement; 3) Under section 5 of limitation act to condone delay in filing the abatement petition if the abatement period is beyond .60 days; 

The plaintiff, after the abatement is set aside has to file an amendment petition too to amend the plaint by including the names of the legal representatives of the deceased defendant.

Certainly all these processes  will take a period of at least six months to one year and the case cannot proceed without following the siad procedures.
