And in the end what does it matter? Once Will goes through Probate, it is a matter of public record so anyone who wants to can see the will. And the Inland Revenue Affidavit.

Am aware of the practice of sending beneficiaries just the portion of the will that refers to them, but on balance it is as well to sent a full copy to everybody mentioned in it because
1. being economic with information can lead to misunderstandings
2. anyone can get a copy from the Probate Office when Grant of Probate issues.
The fact of the matter is that before a will is probated beneficiaries have no right to see the will, just to either see the portion attributed to them or be informed of it in a timely manner. So after that it is up to the executor and solicitors must take their instructions from the executor having informed him or her of the legal position.
