Vested intrerest?

Hi, In the UK can someone gain a vested interest before probate is granted?

What exactly is the issue?

You wil have to be a lot more specific if you want any sort of answer.

If you are a beneficiary of the will you will have a vested interest in the assets of the estate.

It isn't clear what you're asking or why - and sometimes the 'why' can clarify exactly what the asker needs to know. 
Maybe this quote from HMRC's tax manual will answer your question:

‘Vested’ means that the interest either already is or will eventually come into the hands of the beneficiary. If this occurs after the beneficiary dies, it will go to the personal representatives of the beneficiary.

The future event must be certain to happen - for example, the death of another person. It does not matter if it is not possible to say when this will be.

If the event is not certain to occur the interest is contingent (TSEM6211) - not vested. For example, the event may be the beneficiary reaching the age of thirty.
