Who has a right to check and see if an application has already been made for probate of a will after a person has died ?
By: דיאנה שאלתיאל•Published on: 03 May, 2022According to the Inheritance Regulations of 1998 “after the death of a person an interested party is entitled to receive details from the National Inheritance Register relating to the deceased.”
If an application has been made for probate – an order to enforce a will – concerning the deceased, this will be recorded on the register (note: the National Inheritance register also has a website).
The person wishing to gain access must have details about the person who died – e.g. their full name, I.D. number, address and the date when they died.
