Will doesn't need to be made on Stamp Paper. It can be on normal paper, but it is advisable to register it.

You must include all investments as they are also assets. Whether it is shares, PO deposits, MFs etc, you should define an inheritor for all assets.
For Bank Accounts and DMAT accounts, it is advisable to have joint accounts ro at least nominations as otherwise when the account holder dies, the account cannot be operated.
You require 2 witnesses.
