It is not actually the will but the entry in the Probate Calendar.

If presented for probate the details will usually indicate:

The deceased's name, Date of death, date of probate/Administration grant, Value of the estate, Names of the executor(s) or administrator(s)

Additionally it may give the deceased's normal address and where they died.

It will not show how or to whom the estate was distributed.

Researching:
Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.
