Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Missouri

Viewing of a Will.

My grandfather passed away last December and my Aunt was named the executor. I have a feeling that she is not carrying out all of his wishes (instead just seizing his assets). Who is allowed to read a copy of the will? If you are of blood relation (like my father) do you have the right to see the will reguardless of whether my Aunt would like to show him?

Re: Viewing of a Will.

You do have a right to see the Will. If yor Aunt has not filed it with the Probate Court there is a legal action you can take to compel her to do so. Then, the Will is a matter of public record and anyone can read it.
