A will becomes a public document once it has gone to probate. I think it is probably a little early in the day for this to have happened, but certainly you will be entitled to apply for a copy and here is the link showing you where and how. It will be the probate office local to your late uncle's address. http://www.lawontheweb.co.uk/basics/probateoffices.htm

Once the Will has gone to Probate, it becomes a public document, but this could take 6 mths or more, depending on how complicated the estate is. Copies of Probates can be ordered from the Probate Registry website.

If there is a will it will go to probate and as far as I know becomes a public document to be inspected by all. Go to your local prbate office yoyu will find the staff most helpful.
This is if you can not get the info. via family and solicitor.
you will have to wait a while so try family first. expect a rebuff

Original wills are supposed to be filed with the Circuit Clerk of the county where the decedent resides. If it is on file, you should be able to get a copy of it for a small charge.

Dear bloke,
If you are mentioned in the will then you are entitled to see the will, on asking -anytime AFTER the death.
If you are not in it, you could still ask to see it, if refused, you can obtain a copy.

the only way you can do this, is by contacting the family, then they have to give you permission to read it, hope you get it sorted, all the best

you can ask his immediate family if they are aware of who his lawyers are and if he has even made a will.
Only his immediate family has the authority to request for this information
