Will with potential problems

Being a beneficiary isn't relevant, what matters is who the will names as executor as they will be responsible for managing all the assets, paying any debts and paying the beneficiaries in due course.

Is his grandfather still alive? If so does his father have power of attorney?

Grandad still alive, fathers partner has power of attourney

Power of attorney ceases on death. Always nice to see people eyeing up their presumedinheritance before they've even got it though.

If you have serious concerns that the POA is being abused you need to contact the office of the public guardian, but you will need some proof.

You have no right to access only the POA has that.

Doesn't matter what anyone else wants though does it, it's what grandad wants and what he puts in his will that counts. Including who he chooses as executor, although there may be more than one.

Grandad wants grandson to get his equal share. Father does not want grandson to get a penny

My husband is joint beneficiary in his grandads will along with his estranged father. His father and partner have access to all grandads bank accounts, house etc. How does my husband go about getting access and what is there in place to stop the father and partner taking everything?

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Unless you have solid proof the POA is currently being abused I think you will just have to wait an see what happens after grandfather's death.
