Is there any law that prevents you from publishing a will online

Offhand, no.

If the will was admitted to probate it is a public document.

If the will is not yet admitted to probate it is still, technically, a private document the publication of which might transgress certain rights.

A fuller set of background facts might allow a fuller answer.

The will is 2 years in existence and the main issue is that certain items in the will are false. On probate the information supplied by the person looking after the will was false in that it was stated that the will would not be available as another member of the family was still living and the will would only go to probate after that person died. I know its dumb but it was believed. That person then became the main beneficiary of the estate. Went to a solicitor who stated that as you did not contest the will during probate you have no claim. In publishing the will on Facebook or other it might highlight these issues so others don't make the same mistake.
