A will is a public document and can be obtained by a person by filling out a request form with the Surrogates Court in Brooklyn. It can usually be done by mail as well. You are welcome to a consultation at no fee at my offices at 42 west 44th st., NY,NY. Please call for an appointment first. (646) 591-5786
