Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
My Grandmothers will
My Grandmother passed away a
month ago. Before she passed away I
was the last person who had visited
her. During the visit she told me
there was a will and told me
information regarding the will.
My father found a will and it didnt
have any of the info that my
grandmother told me that should be
in there. I spoke to my dad and he
said this is the will there is no other
will. 2-3 weeks later they find
another will more up to date and its
more similiar to what my
grandmother and I talked about.
I still believe there is another will out
there because the latest will we fund
includes 7 people, the will my
grandmother and i talked about 3
weeks before her death only included
3 people! How do i obtain or find this
will!! We have contacted the lawyer
who made out the 2 wills... but after
finding the firt will and then
contacting him he said that the 1st
wil was the only one. Pleae help me
!!! how do i find my grandmas latest
will??

Re: My Grandmothers will
I'm very sorry about your grandmother's death.
Wills are not recorded anywhere before someone passes away, so no one can tell you how to find it if your grandmother didn't tell you where she had stored it.
Occasionally our local county Bar Association will e-mail a request asking us to contact them if any of us have prepared a will for a certain person who passed away. You might contact the county bar association in the county where your grandmother lived and ask if they will e-mail their members.
You might also check with her bank and find out if she had a safe deposit box. They are required to let you search the box for a will.
