Re: right to view a will
By law, a will must be filed with the county in which the person died, or resided. Therefore, the will is public record.
Contact the clerk of court (probate division) in the applicable county. If your sister filed it (as she is required to do), you will be able to obtain a copy of the will.
Good luck to you.
