Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Re: How do I find my will?

If one makes a will, it is made by that person. If you have a will, you will have had to make a will. If you mean you want to find out if you stand to inherit or have inherited under a will, that is a different matter. If the person from whom you expect to inherit is not dead, the will is merely an intention and has no legal force unless and until that person dies. If the person from whom you suspect you have inherited or stood to inherit is dead, you can check with the Probate Clerk in the court in the county in which that person last resided before death to see if a will was probated. If so, you will find a copy in the file.

you mother doesn't have to give you anything from her estate. with that in mind, i really don't understand your question.

Re: How do I find my will?

Are you talking about a will that YOU created? If so you can simply void that will (supersede it) with a new one that revokes any prior will.

If you are talking about a will that someone else prepared before their death and you believe that you are entitled to receive an inheritance, there are several potential ways to try to get it.

If, however, that person is still living, then you generally have no right to receive a will from that person before their death.
