Will

[Emily Ball]

Does a solicitor engaged to draw up a document granting Power of Attorney have any right to examine the Will of the donor (the said solicitor having had no part in drawing up the Will)?

[Barmaid]

The solicitor has no "right" to examine anything. However, the solicitor would be failing in his duties to his client if a PoA was executed or an EPA was executed, which may affect property that has been specifically bequeathed. But it really would depend on the circumstances.
