Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in India

Hello,

I'm a Hindu and my father left behind an un-registered will which is signed by two witnesses. As the sole executor of the will, I'm also one ofthe witnesses. My queries are:

1. Can the executor be a witness of the will?

2. For the immovable properties mentioned in the will, is the un-registered will sufficent or is a Relinquishment deed instead required?

3. Can i make a gift-deed (of money) in favour of my sisters from a joint account of my father and myself?

Thanks.
