I know that he given you good things.,
1) Good name in society
2) Good attitude in society
3) Good nature in your heart
4) Good discipline

This is what every person wants from his dads

Answer 2

I'm not a lawyer, but I did this and found that I had been left £20k by a distant relative who had died a few years earlier. Wills are a public record and can be looked at by anyone at the Principal Registry of the Family Division (which if you're in London, is in High Holborn). All you need to do is pay a small fee (about £5) and fill in a form stating the name of deceased and date of death - you don't need to give any reason, or anything, about why you want to look at the will.

If your dad didn't leave a will, then I reckon that there would still be a record.

Answer 3

Many wills for couples who are not too rich are simple wills which basically leave everything to the surviving partner. This may well have been the case. If you could have good news, then such wills often leave everything on the death of the surviving partner to the child or to be divided equally between the children.

It is unusual for your mother not to tell you and you could ask your father's lawyer or the executor of the will. On the other hand, many people die without leaving a will and the partner then inherits everything. If there was a will, then as someone has already set, the probate office should be able to help. Good luck I hope you resolve this.

Answer 4

Why are you so concerned with this issue,? If you knew say that you were in line for a tidy sum on the death of your mum would it make a difference to how you felt about her? Perhaps if you are an only child you are worried in case its going to the cats home or if there are more siblings that there has been a bit of rivalry over the years & you're not too sure where you stand. If your mums will is lodged with a solicitor I dont think you can get access to it without mums permission & if she wont tell you, then you're just going to have to wait and see

Answer 5

The only way to know is to look at the will as other places won't let you find out as its against ya mothers wishes

Answer 6

you can get a copy of the will from the probate office...not sure if they charge or you could ask your mum

Answer 7

find his lawyer. Or who ever was the executor of the will.

Answer 8

you can't and wait
