    Hi

    I know somebody who has made a will in London, the thing is I don't know what solicitor they had.
    Is it possible to track down the solicitor when I know the deceased persons name and address?

    No, afraid not. You could try solicitors who are local to their address, but lots of people will go to a solicitor a bit further away who has been recommended to them, or chosen on some other basis than the nearness of the office to their home.

    The Law Society Gazette in Ireland has a section where people advertise for the whereabouts of wills. Solicitors read it and contact the advertiser if they can help. It may be that you can do the same in the UK.

    The main point of placing such an ad is to demonstrate that you have searched for a will, in circumstances where you are required to search for a will. It is vanishingly rare actually to find a will through an ad like this.
