My mother died four months ago. I want to bury her ashes but my brothers say it’s nothing to do with me. They also say I’ve no right to see a copy of the will.
Such arrangements are normally agreed between the deceased’s next of kin, but where there is no agreement the executors of the will have the final say. I take it your brothers are the executors. Unless you are a “residuary beneficiary” – in other words a person who stands to share what’s left once specific gifts have been paid out – you are not entitled to see the will. You could eventually obtain a copy from the probate office if the estate is large enough to warrant a grant of probate.
