Can anyone help me please? I have found in my records a will for my grandfather stating that everything he owned was left to his wife. How can I find out whether she left a will when she died? Or where to look if she did? |

Unless any Will she made went to Probate, you won't be able to find any trace |

If she died between 1966 (Ancestry) and 1996 (gov.uk link) you could pay for a Probate search. I think it's £10 now. |

Thank you friends for your advise. And thank you Cynthia for your message on how to find and read replies. I would not have know this otherwise. I will all advise a go and see how I get on. My gran died in 1965 so will look into the probate search. |

Hi all, I'm not really familiar with the message board. I am not afraid to post my grans name I just don't know how it all works.But thanks anyway. Well, my grans name was Elizabeth Ann Bassett. She died on 19/03/1965 in Cornwall. Her husband was Wesley Walford Bassett if you need that info. I would be grateful for anyone who would have a look for me and thank you for your help. :-) |

OMG, Thank you so much DetEcTive. Henry Daniel was her eldest son (my uncle) and he died suddenly - literally dropped dead on the farm. So it is likely that he did not make a will! I will message you personally if that is ok with some more recent details. :-) |
