    I agree with Daggers. You could also request it for genealogical purposes and would like a copy for your file. You could also sign a piece of paper stating you will never divulge its contents.

    A will and grant of probate are not always required:
    Is a grant needed in all cases?
    No.

    It may not be necessary to obtain a grant where a home is held in joint names and is passing by survivorship to the other joint owner.
    Where a joint bank or building society account is held, production of a death certificate may be sufficient for the monies to be transferred to the joint holder.
    Certain institutions may release monies without a grant being produced if the amount held by the deceased was small. Apply to the institutions to see if they will release monies without a grant.
    (see https://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/cms/1216.htm)

    If you think that the value of the estate is such that a grant of probate or letters of administration would have been necessary then perhaps you should consult a solicitor.

    There's lots more here:
