Re: privacy for beneficiary

If it is a will, then it will have to go through Probate. Unfortunately,Probate is a matter of public record. This is why we always suggest to our clients to use a trust, when utilized properly it is the only way to completely bypass Probate.

Re: privacy for beneficiary

I take it you are the executor of the Will. In that position where you owe a duty to the deceased to carry out his wishes, you want to know if you can fool the other beneficiaries, can you not tel them what is in the Will, and wil they be so dumb as to not look up the County records to see who got what. Do you really thilnk it is necessary to ask these questions? Would you want one of the others to do to you what you want to do to them?
