Can anyone out there tell a relative notice how to obtain a copy of a will made in the 1960's/70's. It has been collected from the solicitors but no one has seen it since. Is it possible to obtain a copy and where from? Slighty off topic I know but any help would be greatly appreciated. regards Joanne

Hi Janet See http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/ Select Forms and Guidance (top left menu) Under work type, select Probate This will show a list of forms, Pa1S is the application for a probate search. The next has some instructions if I remember correctly. If you send a letter to the address on the form, with cheque for five pounds giving the name, place of death, date of death as near as you know it, they will search and supply copies, request copies of grant and will. I do not think they take payment except cheque? As far as I am aware there is no facility for ordering online or by e mail Best wishes Nivard Ovington Cornwall (UK) > Can someone provide me with a web address or a place to write to get a > copy of a will of my ancestor who died in a hospital in > Newcastle-upon-Tyne this year? > > Thanks so much, > Janet in NY
