Re: wills,probate
Waiver of notice, if you sign it, means you will not receive formal notice that the will was filed with the Probate court. The will and codicil (amendment) are public record and you can check what has been filed.
All beneficiaries with standing can still contest. The period for contesting the wiii (3 mo.) begins when beneficiaries are notified of probate of will, or have waived notice.
