An interested party can apply to the Inheritance Registrar for permission to look at the will, under the 1998 Inheritance Regulations. There is no automatic right to look at it. He must state his interest in doing so and the inheritance registrar has discretion to allow him access to it – in whole, or part. He will only be allowed to see the will, or part of it, in the presence of a member of staff. The inheritance registrar has discretion to allow the interested party to receive a photocopy of the will.
