That is very interesting - thanks, wonder if it happened often that a later will has been found and the probate revoked? Also what happens if the bequests have been spent??

See my post #2. It really is not going to happen. The fact the first will ‘has already been probated prevents the second one being probated. This illustrates the pointlessness of hypotheticals.i am happy to help people in real situations but not to effectively research that they really should be able to do themselves. I do have a life other than on here! Unfortunately the law is a complex matter and difficult to grasp,even for lawyers.

Dox's link stated that the probate could be revoked and the new will then given a grant - wonder if it has ever happened?
