My father in law passed away and I have been trying to sort things out for my mother in law, they both updated their wills in 2002, we saw the solicitor thinking it would be straightforward as my f i l left everything to my m i l. No such luck! We wanted to update her will as f i l was in it and go through his will, they owned their home, mortgage free but it's in my f i l's name only, we were then told that we had to go through probate because of this. I can't understand this and wonder why bother to make a will at all!
