local Probate Registry; there is a small fee (I forget how much) for a
copy. If you want to be absolutely sure, it has to be a copy of the
death certificate and the Central Probate Registry.

Unfrotunately I dont know if a will exhists or if it does who the executor is
... I also wish to conceal the reasons for my interest in the estate of the
deceased...

There is also a procedure whereby you can lodge a notice with the
Probate Registry (a caveat) which will oblige them to notify you if an
application is made for a grant of representation to the estate. You
will then have to move quite quickly either to withdraw your caveat or
commence a Probate action (the latter is to be avoided at all costs
unless your stake in the business is enormous or you are very rich - or
both). Ask for details at your local Probate Registry.

Six months from the grant of probate, I believe.

Issue a standing search.
