possible that the will never went to probate - no good reason for MIL not to produce it if it is all straightforward

It didn't go to probate we have checked.  It just feels that she is hiding something

They were yes.  He died 13 years ago. When we told her my husband had been traced by this company and they required her to get in touch, she was very defensive and said it was a scam etc etc.

Your husband might advise the insurer that his mother is very anxious that the contact is nor genuine and ask that she  be sent a formal written communication which she can verify?

Hi, they have done this.  They have been in direct contact with her.  She is still not willing to give them a copy of the will.

  They have been in direct contact with her.  She is still not willing to give them a copy of the will. 

Then your husband needs to ask her why not.

We have done so.  She just said it is very precious to her and she is not willilng even though it only has to be a copy.  She will not give us any other reason.  Like I say they do not have a relationship and she has always said he never had a will but now has admitted he has.  Something just doesn't feel right I guess.

One can understand why her refusal even to supply a copy is arousing suspicion.
