Only heirs are entitled to a copy from the Executor. However, a Will is a public document and anyone can see it (available at the local Surrogate's office where it was probated) or get a copy for a small photocopying fee. I suggest calling the Surrogate's office and get some preliminary infomration (such as who is the Executor and what attorney is representing the estate), as this may help you.
