Understanding a will

In this instance, would it be worth the OP's husband contacting the original firm of solicitors who drafted the Will - to get their interpretion of the clauses; maybe there were notes taken at the time of writing the Will, or would these solicitors not engage with them?0

In this scenario their professional Indemnity insurer would be very unhappy if the firm put their hand up and admitted to any form of negligence which may result in a legal claim against them.
The unfortunate thing here is a referral to another firm for a 2nd opinion could be costly, especially in comparison to the very small specific legacy that was eventually paid.0
