I would say consult a solicitor? I can't see why no one got paid out as the money would have gone to probate. Unless a new will had been made up and the one found was null and void? Regards Diana Hi Guys and Gals Talking of heirs - can anyone suggest what to do if one finds a will in which one is a beneficiary but no money was ever received (other beneficiaries didn't get theirs either). The executor has now died. Sheila
