Live in the UK / will is abroad .>>>>>

[gouldc]

I have come across a case in work whereby a relative has left our customer property in Pakistan. The relative in question resided in, and died in, the UK.

However, we have been informed that the will is apparently in Pakistan and so proof of title is unavailable (co-incidentaly).

Basically, is this reasonable practice? I make the assumption that there are other relatives abroad, but there is a large faily present in the UK, and since the person who died was a UK resident, would this be normal practice to have the will abroad?
