You say you know other family members have had their legacies - can you ask any of them who the executor was, and whether they recall a solicitor being involved?All posts are my personal opinion, not formal advice Always get proper, professional advice (particularly about anything legal!)0

If the sums are relatively modest there may have been no need to apply for probate.
All this BS about the age being raised to 24 would be a red flag though, someone is trying to fob you off.0 -
Can you get a copy of the birth certificate? It only costs about £10. This would provide details of birth name, parents names, plus Mother's maiden name. It's a long shot, but could provide valuable information in your search, and is far cheaper than a solicitor. 'One thing leads to another', as they say.........0
