With something so important you should have at least noted the name, address and telephone number of the solicitor! Did your father get a letter from the solicitor, or an email? Perhaps you should be looking for the letter or email first.

Anyway, there are several ways of storing a will:

You might want to check with the probate service to see if the solicitor registered it there.

I think you misread the OP, he knows where his father is!

Unlikely that the will was drafted and signed on the spot. Was it finalised?

Maybe ask citizens advice bureau to assist?   They give advice for free.

Had the same problem when my father died. Never found a will. Rules of intestate apply.
