Wills and the public
After a Last Will and Testament is read, does this document become public. If so, how can I obtain a copy.
Thank you

Re: Wills and the public
Upon the dealth of the individual the person who has the original will is required to file the will with the court in the county where the deceased person resided. Once the will is recorded with the court you can go to the court house--probate division--and ask to see the will.
