Last will and judicial probation in UK legislation?

According to UK law, in the case of a Last Will the first step is to obtain the judicial probation about the validity of the testament. After that point, is it necessary any judicial declaration about the properties and who are the heirs? If there is such declaration or a judicial decision which approves the testament (I don麓t know how the procedure is), where can I obtain a copy of the last decission of this kind of procedures. Is in UK an official register? The attorney麓s office doesn麓t exist and the procedure took place in England.Last will and judicial probation in UK legislation?After probate is granted for a Will, there is no further judicial process. The Executor (the person named in the Will to carry out the instructions in the Will) then has the right - and the duty - to carry out what the Will says, it is up to him to find the heirs and distrbute the property.



(The executor can be anyone - for example a family member of the person who's died, or a solicitor - it depends what the will says).



When probate is granted, the will becomes a public document. Details of how to get copies of the will and the 'Grant of representation' (the document the court issues to the executor to allow him to act) are here:

This applies to England and Wales (not Scotland or Northern Ireland).
