Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Jersey

Re: Will execution

I am presuming person is still alive? If so, it is only to whom he wants to give copies, if anyone. This is because a Will is revocable until death, and can be changed any time. If person is deceased, only people entitled to get a copy are those named in the Will. However, a probated Will is usually a public document and anyone can go to the Surrogate's office and read it, or for a small fee get a copy mailed to them.

Re: Will execution

A will is a personal document and generally, it should be kept private unless there is a good reason not to. Occasionally, a parent will provide copies of the will to their children or you may decide to provide a copy to the person(s) named as executor or trustee.

I see no reason why a former employer would be entitled to a copy of the will (unless there is a lot more to this story than your question suggests).
