    3. Hello Folks Seeking some advice on what we see on the index of wills etc for England, as viewed here in Melbourne Australia. David Bernhard.. it gives date of death and the date of the will, only a couple of months apart in 1937. It says probate granted to two men surnamed Bernhard and a solicitor and the amount (round £88000). That is all typed. Added by hand is "resealed Shanghai 1942" and a new figure which looks like a re-assessment of the benefits. We are OK with it all apart from the "resealed in Shanghai" . Does it mean perhaps the will was challenged, or at least investigated, by someone in Shanghai? Thanks Dawn (Melbourne, Australia)
