Question:

How and where do i go about searching for ancestor's will and probate in the United Kingdom?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It depends on the year. Most local studies departments will have indexes of Wills after 1858 which you can go through. You will then need to go to your local probate office to order a copy (It's only about ⣵). If the will is after about 1980 they will have the indexes at the probate office itself _you should be able to find the address and phone number in the book.
If it was before 1858 it is abit more complicated and longwinded asit sepends on where the will was proved .i.e. the Ecclesiastical Court of York or Canterbury.
