Checking a will
Comments
-
I have a rich uncle who's wife has recently died. Assuming they both had "mirrored wills" and that probate has been obtained for my aunt, is is possible to use the form "Application for a probate search" for my aunt's will to find out what is in my uncle's will on this death?
The assumption that they have mirror wills is not one that you should make after the first death. Death of a spouse (or other major beneficiary) should IMHO trigger the writing of a new will. The old will would still be valid, but keeping an up to date will is important.0 -
Mirror wills are in reality useless. The surviving spouse can change his or her will at anytime and the deceased's will means nothing.
