Welcome to Rootschat.

The calender can be searched at the Royal Courts of Justice,  Strand, London, or you can apply by post for a search. It is best if you have a date of death, but remember not everyone leaves a Will, and even if they do and the estate is under £15000, it need not go to probate, so would not show up in the calendar.

Welcome to Rootschat. You can get a copy of a recent will through here:

A friend applied here for a copy of the will of a relative who died in 2012 and received it in a few days.

If you post the name and date of death, I can check the calendars next time I'm there.
