Missing or lost original will – can a copy will be used?
Probate applications require production of the original will. But what if the original can’t be found? In certain circumstances a Court will recognise a lost will and admit a copy of it to probate.

Finding a mistake or error in the will of the deceased can cause extra difficulties in sorting it out.

They usually nominate the same people to act as their executors and trustees, typically each other, and one or more of their children may be appointed as substitutes.
