Solicitors

Options
I'm an executor, who has been working with a certified copy of a will. Applying for probate requires an 'original' will.
 In this case, the will was lodged with a solicitor (to whom deceased was referred by Age Concern) who turns out to have been struck off. The Solicitors Regulatory Authority, giving only sketchy details, is unable to trace her then firm, her whereabouts or any successor firms. Moral of the tail (1), keep your original will in a safer place than with a solicitor.
