Ian Bond, a member of the Law Society s wills and equity committee, says that you should first check if a grant of probate has been issued by the probate registry and obtain a copy of the will. These are public documents and you can request a copy of both from your cousin s nephew.
If he won t provide them, you can order them online for a small fee at probate search.service.gov.uk/#wills.
This will allow you to check if probate has been granted and that you actually are included in the final will, as your cousin may have changed it before she passed away. If the probate has not been granted, the executor might not have been able to administer the estate.
