How to obtain a copy of a deceased person's will that has not gone to probate

[Jewellery]

Is there a legal method by which a potential residual beneficiary who was named in deceased person's will obtain a copy of that will even though it did not go through probate?

The beneficiary did not receive anything, as the deceased spouse was the prime main beneficiary in this instance.

Until Probate is granted a Will is a private document and the Executors are not legally obliged to show it to anyone ( unless ordered to do so by a court). You can ask the Executors, they might be willing to do so voluntarily.
