Contesting the wording of a will?

That kind of does make my brother sound like a bit of a dick but it's not the case.

I understand and I do get that you're a good soul who genuinely doesn't mind, but wills and probate really do bring out the worst in families and people. Ultimately, he does want that money to himself and ultimately that is going against your granddads wishes. If you want to let that go, then that's totally fine, it's just a value/judgement decision.

I was just wondering whether we needed to go above the solicitors in this case.

Nah, Solicitors will handle it - and I would expect that the Solicitor will push you to get the will done as the bequeather intended, because that's the morally right thing to do and it's part of their duty as either executor or to work in your best interest.
