Accessing the Will of a bereaved person

april2010

Hi, I'm looking for information regarding accessing 'The Will' left by someone who has passed on. I've tried searching on google but when ever I put the word 'will' in the search engine I keep getting irrelevant info.

I would like to view the will of my Grandmother. I presume she left a will but her immediate family aren't particularly interested in speaking with me.

My questions:

1) Is there a place that I can access wills to view them?

2) Do you have to be related to the person to view their will?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Most wills are admitted to probate (I think the requirement is that they contain a dispositon of land) and as such are a publicy viewable document. You can get a copy for a nominal charge. A more knowledgeable poster on this forum will be able to give you the specifics. Otherwise a quick search should yield several threads with the answer you are looking for.

On an unrelated gramatical point; you want to view the will of the deceased. The bereaved people are still alive.

This is covered off. Use the forum search.

I think you meant to title the thread 'Accessing the will of a deceased person'.
