Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

You don’t have a legal right to it unless you are a beneficiary or would be an heir if he died intestate. Since he has a living spouse you aren’t an heir. So you have a bit of a catch-22: you have to be a beneficiary to have a legal right to see it, but how do you prove you’re a beneficiary if you can’t see it. The answer is you need enough outside evidence to make it at least probable enough that you are named as a beneficiary to persuade a judge to order her to submit it to the court for review to determine if you are in fact a bene. If you don’t have evidence showing probable cause for the court to believe you may be a bene., you are out of luck.
