Re: how long

Wills don't expire, but if there is a probate that is settled the matter would need to be reopened. There is a chance the court would refuse to reopen the probate, especially if you were given notice of the original probate and failed to object. For more information, please contact my office at (248)851-3171.

A will is valid forever, but it is obviously important that the original or copies exist. The probate process is necessary to effectuate the provisions of the will. www.lawgreg.com

Re: how long

The will is valid forever. Probate should be done as soon as possible after the death. Bill Stern
