Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New York

Re: benefciary's rights

The will is on file at the probate court. You can go tthere and make a copy.

Re: benefciary's rights

All people mentioned in the Will have the right to receive a copy. Once probated, the Executor must give notification of the probate. If, for some reason, a copy of the Will is not included with this notice, you can, for a small fee, obtain a copy from the Surrogate's Office where it was probated.

You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication.

The will should be on file in the Surrogate's Court of the County in which the decedent resided. You can also ask the attorney who sent you the Notice of Probate for a copy.
