Re: right to see the will
You will have a legal right to the will if you are named as an executor in the will and a right to be informed of the content if you are a beneficiary. Although these may be your only legal rights such secrecy is unusual and concerning. There would seem to be absolutely no reason why as a relative you should not be informed of the content of the will. I would therefore suggest that you put a formal request in writing to the solicitors for information concerning your late uncle's estate and find out any reason why they might refuse to give you this information.
If there are further difficulties please let me know and I will be pleased to assist.
