Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Louisiana
Am I entitled to sue a law firm if it refuses to send me a copy of a will that it has executed and was the firm hired to draw up the will but the executor is not a member of the firm and I am a beneficiary and niece of the deceased for whom the will is executed?

Why would they have held onto the original Will? I doubt very seriously if they do have the original Will but if they do and the testator is deceased, someone has to probate it and any heir or creditor may do that, but before it can be probated it has to be presented to the court. You can force them to produce the Will. I would wager that the original was given to the testator after it was executed and placed somewhere for safe keeping.
