    I don't know about the UK, but in Irl all wills are public documents, after probate.

    Before probate, you do not have a right to see the will.

    Firstly, condolences on your loss. An event like that and other peoples' mischief are a painful combination.

    Offhand, you probably need to establish the Probate Registry that dealt with / is dealing with it and follow up with them.

    Not legal advice - but as far as I know the UK does allow for a person to enter a caveat against the probate application if there are grounds for doing so.

    I would ring the British Embassy to see if they could point you in the right direction in terms of identifying the relevant registry.

    If you know your late mother's UK postcode you could enter it here to identify the relevant district registry - https://courttribunalfinder.service.gov.uk/search/postcode?aol=Probate

    Alternatively, a day trip through this site may help https://www.gov.uk/wills-probate-inheritance
