Seeing my fathers will.

[tblueblue]

My father who I had a good relationship with died 18months ago after a decade of illness.

He made a new will upon remarrying my mother, a few years before he died but they never lived together.

My siblings and mother are executors.
They have not shown me the will.

My mother is openly hostile to my partner and I believe this to be the reason she persuaded my sick father to make them executors and not me.

3 months ago I was sent a cheque with a letter that stated there were two more to follow.

Can I force them to show me the will ?

Somebody with more knowledge will give more information, but just to give you the basic facts. Once the will has gone through probate it becomes a public document and anyone can get a copy of it from various places. Before that if you think you have a claim for money from a will I think the executor must deal with the claim correctly or the probate office could become involved.

What colin says is correct. The fact that you have received a cheque should mean that probate has now been granted so you can apply for a copy of the will. Go to the probate registry website, which should tell you the procedure for getting it.

As has already been stated, once probate has been granted a will becomes a public document and anyone may consult it. There's a search fee involved but it's only �5:

The solicitor dealing with your father's estate should supply you with a copy of the will and a breakdown of the administration of the funds, you need to ask if they have not sent you one.
