Re: wills
the custodian of the will is required to lodge it with the superior court. you can then obtain a copy from the clerk, or if it is not lodged, file a petition to compel the custodian to procuce the will. See PROBATE CODE SECTION 8200 to 8203 at:
http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/calawquery?codesection=prob&codebody=&hits=20
if the estate is subject to probate, you should receive notice of any petition regarding the estate from the petitioner.
