Some time ago my grandparents made a will leaving everything to each other. My grandfather died recently and my grandmother can’t remember the name of the solicitors where they made their wills. How do I go about trying to find the will; is there some kind of “search” we can do?
If you really need to find the will I suggest you ring the firms which appear to be the most likely candidates. But it may not be necessary: if your grandparents kept everything in joint names their money and property will have passed to your grandmother by survivorship. You can apply for letters of administration to deal with your grandfather’s estate if need be as though he died without making a will. Your grandmother can make a new will without finding the previous one.
