Is there anything else you feel is relevant to your question or anything else you would like to add before we continue?

You will need to apply for probate to determine this - usually, executors named on the will can apply. Do note that before applying for probate you must estimate the value of the estate and work out if there’s Inheritance Tax to pay.

However, you may first check the following web pages to see if the will has already been published online: National Will Register (hotline at +44 (0)330(###) ###-#### or Gov UK Service.

You may also order the will via post using this form here. The form contains postal and mailing instructions.
