I have an estate with the following scenario:
- lady born in Seychelles (and appears to have domicile of origin there)
- moves to Kenya in mid 1950s
- moves to UK in early 1960s and trains as nurse
- moves to Zambia in 1970s and works there for a period - makes a Will in 1980 in Zambia
- returns to UK in 1980s - becomes UK national - works and resides in UK for rest of her life - dies in 2016
The Will she made in Zambia has been signed by her with two witnesses also signing and has an attestation clause.
As the Will appears to comply with requirements of Wills Act 1837 and she was UK national at date of death, will the Probate Registry require anything else other than Oath when applying for Grant?
