Hi,
Would anybody be able to shed some light on what happens in a situation where an unrelated beneficiary (a friend) dies before Grant of Probate. My dad left some money to a friend in his will but he has sadly died. He was alive at the time of the will but the will has not been proved/grant of probate has not come through yet.
Many thanks.
 
It's not the time of the grant that is important, it's the fact that the friend was alive when the dad died.
 
Great. So, his wife will inherit it. (They have no children). Thanks very much for clearing that up.
