I have contacted my fathers solicitor and she has told me that there is no need for my late fathers will to go to probate. I thought all wills had to go to probate. If it does not have to go to probate am I entitled by law to view the contents of his will.
Yes I have asked to see it, solicitor said I'm not beneficiary - thats it, I have asked again if executor has refused permission and I have not had a reply. Irrevelant what is or is not going on in the family - All I want to know if if LEGALLY I have a right to view the will or not. ThanksHave you asked to see it? Is there any reason why you should not see it? Is there any family animosity?
I'm wary of ostensibly innocent questions like this and generally take the view there is a great deal more going on!

How do the newspapers get to publish details of some wills?If you're not the executor and you're not a beneficiary you are not entitled to see any of the will.

If there is a will, then the executor needs to take out probate
And why a will may not need to be probated: all assets were in joint names and fall out of the estate and there is no estate to be distributed. If there is no estate, there is no need for a Grant.
