Need to get a certified copy of a will

I have the original copy of my Mum's will. She only died recently and we have not been able to register her death yet nor start the probate process but one organisation we have contacted wants a certified copy of the will.

How do I obtain certified copies?

    A solicitor will copy and stamp it as a certified copy for a small (ish) fee.

    The organisation will probably also want an original (or 'office copy') death certificate so when you register the death get several from the Registrar. It's cheaper to get them at the time than later.

    If the organisation is a high street bank, you can take in the original to a branch, and they will make one themselves.
