Re: wills

After the person ("testator") dies and a probate (whether formal or informal) is opened, the court file is public and (except in rare cases) includes the will. Before the testator dies, except in rare cases such as where a court is persuaded that someone is defrauding the testator, the testator has complete control over who knows about the will.
