Advice/Opinion appreciated: ... Is it possible to make an Application to the Court/Probate Registry to Summon 2x Will Witnesses (mother/son) to Court to give evidence/answer questions under Oath before the commencement of a Probate Claim ? If so I need a Direct Access Barrister that can draft the Application. Brief details below – have lots of additional info/evidence can provide.
The 2x Will Witnesses are Mother/Son both UK citizens & wealthy, well educated residents living in London. The 2x Will Witnesses both made a "fraudulent misrepresentation" as they were not present when Mother signed as Will dated 2017 - their signatures and address/occupation details being added at another unknown location and unknown time either before or after my Mother died in 2017.
The faked/invalid Will has been used to obtain a Grant of Probate in 2018 with my eldest brother (GC) as Sole Executor. Both MC (middle brother) & GC refused to show me/give me a copy of Mothers Will prior to an Application for Probate being made by their London Accountant. I obtained a copy of the Will and Grant of Probate from the Online Gov Probate Registry.
Further to me writing to the 2x Will Witnesses politely asking them questions as to the circumstances under which they had witnessed Mothers Will dated 2017 I received a threatening email from MC (who had drafted the Will, can tell by the spelling mistakes) saying “Do not contact either B's ever again ... I have informed the B's to ignore your communications". This was followed by another email sent to myself and cc'd to GC and the London Accountants confirming that the 2x Will Witnesses were not present. MC drafted a previous Will for Mother in which he was a Beneficiary, undated, and with himself as one of 2 x Will Witnesses whereby disinheriting himself etc etc !!!
