    Thank you for your reply, Sea_Shell.

    My Will was professionally written and the address is specifically mentioned by HMLR No.

    The "property" will be that, or wherever is my sole or main residence, at the time of my death.  

    I started this thread to ask if anybody could clarify what, if any, safeguarding systems are in place in the UK to protect my estate from being stolen by somebody I haven't written into my Will.  Whether or not other people "agree" with my Will is not relevant.

    Thank you for the helpful responses and advice.
    unfortunately - other than the individuals involved in the will, there is no oversight of what happens - execs get probate, trusts are formed and you are trusted to do what you are supposed to do - unfortunately sometimes there are  problems, that is why some people are just thinking ahead.
