Can a person write a will for inherited properties outside of the US that have not been settled yet?

When my mother died, she did not leave a will. My father and 2 other siblings
survived her. She had some property outside of the US but we have not executed a
deed of settlement yet. All properties have not been transferred to her legal
heirs yet.

Is it possible for my father to write a will now while the settlement is being
processed?
