Father Died Leaving Estate to His Wife. How Can I Obtain a Copy of the Will? LocalSolicitors.com

My father passed leaving his estate to his wife but I never saw a copy of the will. How can I obtain a copy?

The price will vary and depend upon the complexity.

The problem with having a will drawn up by a retired solicitor is that they will almost certainly not have the professional indemnity cover i.e insurance that all practicing solicitors are required to have. If anything goes wrong or there is an error in the drafting of the will then you will have trouble making recovery of any losses. Best to pay the extra and go to a practicing solicitor.

What is the average price for writing a will? Is a will drawn up by a retired solicitor a bad idea?
