Re: Where there's a Will...

I applied for probate for both my parents in law. Wasn't too difficult, just a case of adding how much money they'd got in various places and getting a valuation for the house. Certainly not enough work to justify paying a solicitor for wills that were straightforward. Did get a bit interesting when the probate office said the solicitor who made my mother in law's will had worded a clause wrongly. The solicitor refused to agree but were told they had to find the 2 people who had witnessed the will (both employees of theirs at the time) and get them to swear that the intentions expressed were correct. One had died and the other had moved away but they managed to find her and get her to do what was needed. Not sure what would have happened if they'd both died.
