Legal Question in Family Law in California
Can I have access to a relatives will?
I think my sister and I have been cheated out of
our grandparents will. Is there anyway of veiwing
these documents. I live on the E. Coast. The will
is on the W. Coast. What are our rights? And how
do we go about finding out?
Thank you.

You should call the Surrogates Court where the will was probated. They will be able to provide you with a copy of the will. Also, if you have been cheated, any proceedings would need to be brought in the court which probated the will.

All wills when probated are public documents
and copies may be obtained.
