How can i obtain a copy of a dead person's will as i am a beneficiary of the estate?
How do you know that you are the beneficiary if you do not have a copy of the Will!
Wills are usually lodged with solicitors or with the executor(s) of the Will. The executors must have the original Will document and are responsible for putting the Will/Estate through probate. At this point the Will becomes a public record (that anyone can see) and the executors are then supposed to divide up the estate as specified by the will, ensuring the beneficiaries get their legacies.
I no will can be found, then you countries "intestate" rules will apply regarding beneficiaries of the estate.
