Obtaining a will
« on: Monday 31 July 23 12:41 BST (UK) »
I used to find obtaining a will fairly simple from 'find a will' on the gov web site.  However it has all changed and every time I put a search in it comes up with no results, even though I am sure a will exists.  Am I doing something wrong?   ::)

Very bizarrely Rosie I have gone back into it and only put a surname and year of probate and it has now come up!  Maybe the least info is the best.  Sorry to bother everyone, although this is not the first time this has happened, it has been since they have reduced the fee to £1.50 that I have had problems.

Glad that you have found it.  They revamped the website a while ago and it has not worked properly since, there is a lengthy thread on here about it.
