Can you find out how much someone left in a Will?

[bossgriff]

Not strictly business but I wondered if I could find out how much a relative of mine left in their Will. I'm not after any money or am in a position to contest the Will but I just would like to know if the main beneficiary, who is a close relative of mine, is actually telling the truth when she says that she was not left hardly any money.

My husband presumably is in the Will because he was left some money but I don't know the solicitors name because my mother-in-law wrote the cheque out to him.

The executor of the Will was my mother-in-law.

When my Nan died I got a cheque off my dad and never saw the Will.

I take it from your posts that it wouldnt be okay for you to just ask your MiL. This site might be your best bet then

I've contacted the Courts to get a copy of the Probate.

Thank you for the replies.

I'm sending off my £5.00 today to the Probate Registry who will do a 4 year search of the Register and if they find it they will send me a copy of the Will and a copy of the Grant of Probate.

When I receive the copies I'll do a post to tell you if it is worth doing.

My husband's happy with what he received but we just would like to know the truth and quash the rumours going round the family.
