my cousin died 15 months ago leaving all his money to my two great nephews i have no probs with that, but being curious would like to know how much he left ,any way of finding out

[factor-fiction]

I think a copy of the will will be available at the Probate Registry

[brenda]

Wills when proven are a public document -- so contact the probate office and you can buy a copy,

You don't often state in a will how much you're leaving to various people especially as 'all' the money was left to the great nephews. It will just state that I leave my estate to ...

[LoftyLottie]

But I think that the details of probate are available and this will show the amount left.

[coccinelle]

So would property have to be valued?

[LoftyLottie]

Definitely. Everything is valued including cars, valuable items, etc.

[LoftyLottie]

Its the whole value of the estate, money wise and houses, cars etc. that is the probate value and if in total it is more than a certain amount then inheritance tax has to be paid. About £300,000 + I believe.
