Can i get copy of my nan's Will ... (after nearly 2 years).

[MustangLady]

Could anyone advice me how I would be able to get a copy of my grandmothers will. My aunt was the holder of the will, my grandmother passed away Aug 2005. My mother and I, do not get on too well with my aunt (a falling out years ago over something silly which escalated as they always do), so I don't want to ask my aunt for a copy. Is there another way to obtain a copy. I'm sure my aunt did not adhere to my grandmothers Will, I was very close to my nan and lived with her for a number of years, I was left nothing (I don't mind as the memories mean more to me than anything). But someone mentioned to me recently if I got the little thing my nan left me? I got nothing... so I'd be very upset if there was something I should have got and didn't, however small it may be, it would mean a lot to think my nan thought of me in her Will. Any suggestions... please don't ask me to befriend my aunt, not a good idea.... thank you in advance for any advice.

If the will has gone through the probate process you can access it through the probate registry, since proved wills are public documents.

Thank you, I will look into it.

The telephone number of the local Probate office should be in your directory, there is a charge for the copy of the will [�5-10] , you will need the date of death and the address, give them a ring they will tell you how to apply.

is there any reason your mum did not get an equal share of any property belonging to your grandmother? That should be straight forward, unless your grandfather is still alive and he was the sole benefactor of his wife's estate. Has you mother not said anything?

Sandbach99: Thanks will call them.
dot.hawkes: don't know why she didn't, she hasn't said anything. my grandfather passed away 9 years ago. my grandmother was in a home before passing away, so i know alot of her personal home etc was sold off so it could pay for the home she was in... i don't know if this has anything to do with it. I'm going to try and delve further. Thank you.
