Wills are not available on line - order from here:

http://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/probate/copies-of-grants-wills

Only probate entries are available - this is the one you are looking for:

Albert Howe
Probate Date: 15 Sep 1950
Death Date: 11 Aug 1950
Death Place: Middlesex, England
Registry: London, England

Of 40 Cecil Rd, Wealdstone, died at Mount Vernon Hospital, Ruislip. Admin to Albert William Frederick Howe, storeman.

The Probate entry does say that his effects were valued at £480 14s 11d




but it does not tell you how that money or effects were distributed.

The charge for providing a copy of the Will is £6.00

Down load form PA1S from this link

http://hmctscourtfinder.justice.gov.uk/HMCTS/GetForm.do?court_forms_id=739

The fact that it says 'Administration' means that there was NO Will.

Never having order a Letter of Administration, I'm not sure whether the information would be of use for FH purposes

You have to download the form and send it by post with a cheque.

There may only be a probate doc but to be on the safe side there is a tick box for probate or will.

Make sure you tick both boxes otherwise you will only be sent the probate doc.

It is the same £6 for both docs ordered together so I've never understood why one has to tick separately
:-D
