Is a written Islamic WILL as per Indian law is valid?

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

Assalaamu Alaykum Brother/Sister,

1.) It is permissible for one to bequeath from within one third of his wealth for his nephew who is not an inheritor. However, it is not permissible for one to exceed one-third of his wealth unless all the inheritors allow him to do so. The inheritors all must be mature and sane in order for them to be able to give permission.

2.) We are unaware of how the Islamic Will is per Indian Law.

And Allah knows best
