This. Wills have to be available for the public to see. That is the law. I would urge you to see a solicitor. The solicitor that wrote the will may well have retained a copy. If your sister cannot produce a later dated will that it is that will that will be held to be the "last" will and so the one that must be followed. The sacked solicitor would be my first contact to see if they still have a copy. Wills can also be registered online (this isn't probate this is registering the will online). Again a solicitor will likely advise the websites that might have the will. Edited February 5 by enfieldspares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS it will happen to you as others have said when monies are involved don't trust anyone. Was there a property / house in the estate or just bank accounts / investments? What did the Will say about what went where - was it just a straight division of everything between the children in equal / unequal shares or were there specific legacies / gifts in there?

This should be done by applying to the Probate Registry by a claim form supported by an affidavit. Once obtained, the inventory and account can be examined by the beneficiary in order to assess whether any further steps are needed in respect of the executor.

enfieldspares Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 (edited) Quote I have a copy of the will, it just states that I should receive one third of all monies You need to see a lawyer. To ask if monies is the same in meaning as is property in inheritance law. And especially if the will says "a third of my property". I would urge you to do this asap especially as you have, now, a copy of the will. Also note a beneficiary of a will can apply for probate themselves where, as the firm below says, no executors named in will are able to apply for probate or are ill and/or unwilling to act). I do not know these people below but they may be worth a call. https://www.gnlaw.co.uk/news/what-rights-does-a-beneficiary-of-a-will-have/ Edited February 8 by enfieldspares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
