Help regarding a will

[sunshine111]

I am looking for some help my father was a named beneficiary in his parents will but unfotunately died before both my grandparents. Both grandparents have died now and my fathers sibling has dealt with the 'will and probate' themselves.

 

The whole estate has now been put in the name of my father's sibling and we never saw the will?? would my father's share not go to his wife (my mum) or my father's children?

 

Thank you

My understanding is that if there is no sucession clause (ie left to him or his children on his earlier death) built in and a beneficiary has died, his share will be split between the remaining benficiaries, so if he just has one sibling, (s)he'll get it all.

 

I'm not 100% sure though, so worth wiating for an expert.

Thanks, I have never seen the will to know if there were other scenarios in there upon my fathers death, is there any way I can get a copy of this?

Hi Sunshine

 

I know you posted a while ago but just in case!

 

If you know enough details about the grant of probate you can you can order a copy of a will at any District Probate Registry. You need to give the full name of the person who died, thegrant date probate and the name of the registry office where it was issued. It cost £5.

 

If you want more details or need to do a search try the courts service website at:

Good luck
