Where can I see a will?

[Samwise]

I understand that wills are in the public domain - where can I see one in the UK?
It used to be Somerset House but I think that's changed.

Many thanks in advance.

Somerset House ceased to be a place of Public Records years ago because it was too small.

You cannot see any Will when the person who made it is still alive.

Also wills will not be published till the probate and any appeals is finalised
ie debts to be paid out of the Estate.

Even so a Will is still a private document and needn't be published.

These might help.
