There is literally, no choice. There is only one legally signed will. The executor has to follow it.
What the beneficiaries do with their inheritance is their choice.
They have no legal obligation to follow the second unsigned will. Neither do they morally. The living owe the dead nothing. Sucks for the beneficiaries of the 2nd will and the lawyer was lazy in not getting it signed in a timely fashion.

Also I believe in will boilerplates there can be stipulations along the line of if any beneficiary legally opposes the will, that person’s loses his ‘cut’ and it’s given to the others.

The unsigned will may be valid. You cannot ignore it.
