	go to the National Archives site and it will tell you about wills. http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ go to 'quick links' and click on Wills if you have a date of death and address you can apply to York Probate by post. It costs £5 and takes about 3 weeks. I have successfully applied for 2 wills.
