Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
Probate
My 95 yr old aunt died, and according to her executrix her will excluded my sister's and myself and named the executrix and two of her friends. It was also our understanding that my aunts estate would go to my mom and dad and/or us. The attorney involved will not give us a copy of the will are we entitled?

Re: Probate
If there is an executrix, there is a probate. If there is a probate of the will, you can get a copy from the court file. You should. If you suspect that the will was the result of fraud or undue influence, you and your siblings should hire a lawyer to litigate the issue.
