Old will difficult to understand

My grandmother died in the early 90s, I was a young teenager when she died.
I have recently become aware that some of her property was passed to a non-relative. I requested a copy of her will from the .gov website.
Her will was written before she became ill & mentions her husband as main beneficiary, sadly he died before her. There is mention of a trust & trustees but this is where my understanding of the will ends.
Would it be possible to take the will to a high st solicitor & ask for a "translation", is this a service that some offer?

TLDR:
Would a high st solicitor be willing to read & help me understand my late grandmothers will which involves a trust?

Yes, but you should expect them to charge you for it.

Thank you. I am of course perfectly willing to pay for someone's time for this - I should have made this clear

Wondering whether this is something that the will writer of this parish, @mumblechum0 might include in her range of services.

Def approach Mumblechum (aka Marlow Wills), she’s the MN go to for wills, and she’s great!
