Probate office cannot act on this they would suggest that you seek legal advice and start a claim through the small claims court or a claims court if value is over 5000. Maybe before going down the road of taking court action you should maybe have a solicitors letter sent to her warning her of the pending action if the estate is not settled. I would like others have said obtain a copy of the will, the fee is £6 and check what your entitlement actually is
