Buying a house through probate, vendors have found a new will...

We are in the process of buying a house which is being sold through probate. Just found out the sellers have discovered a new will which they think is not legal but are seeing a solicitor tomorrow to check. My questions are - how does one get a will ratified? If this will is deemed to be legal presumably it could be challenged at a later date. If it is where we stand if we've bought the house? This is a real blow as we have had the searches and survey done, thought it was all done and dusted. Thank you.

Bump?

If they find tomorrow that the will is legal and if this means they have no authority to sell the house the sale will be stopped. Though there's a chance I guess that if the will means someone else owns the house they may want to sell and be keen to carry on with the sale.
