Tracing a Will

[Med1c]

Sorry if posted in wrong forum.

Can anyone advise on what the process is to locate a relatives Will as looking online there is so much information plus lots of what seems to be dubious sites !

Thanks in advance for any links / advice.

I am pretty sure the date to search on is the date of probate, not death.
If there was no need for probate you won't find the will.

Did you mange to find the will you were looking for as this sort of this used to be my full time occupation.

No I have yet to find it.

To search records to see if a copy is available in public registers I need to know the name of the person and their date of death.

If you don't want to post the info here feel free to PM me.
