    Do not forget the will and probate records will be in the public domain once probate is completed.
    Thanks, I was not aware of that, I thought the “publication of wills” was all a bit of a myth. That said, I would not anticipate it presenting an issue as the benefactor would have no reason to wish to view the will/probate. Then of course I am sure I am worrying about nothing.

    I just googled the process of viewing the will of someone who has passed away and read the dot Gov site. Seems very straight forward. Interesting. Thanks.

    Might this windfall have a negative effect on the recipient's DWP benefit status?

    Good point, but no they do not claim any benefits and I would not see any reason for them to claim benefits in the future. Thanks.
