Re: wills
The starting point will be the probate court in which the deceased lived at the time of his/her death. If the deceased person's will has been filed for probate, you can find a lot of information.
1. Yes, the testator can leave you out of the will.
2. No, you do not have to be notified.
3. No, you do not have to be present.
4. You should consult with a local attorney about this.
