A friend of mine's partner passed away just over a month ago. Although they were together for 15 years, he still maintained his own house. He made his sister and brother executors and told them where his will was kept in his house.
My friend was completely cut out of all funeral arrangements - the family has completely taken over and will not even allow her supervised access to his house to remove her personal items.
She knows that she and her children are beneficiaries of his will and is worried that his siblings will destroy the will as it is in his house.
He did, however, make another will 5 or 6 years ago and this one was drawn up and held in a solicitor's office. If the siblings were to destroy the latest will, would she be entitled to go to the solicitor to ask for either the original or a copy of his previous will?
Thanks.
