Legal Question in Family Law in Washington
Changing a will
My grandfather passed away about 6
months ago, and his wife refuses to
let my family see a copy of the will.
She has also threatned to change
the will. Is it legal for her to with
hold a copy of the will if you are a
stated as a beneficiary, and is she
allowed to change the will after the
fact to exclude the parties origanlly
stated in the will?

Re: Changing a will
The short answer to your question is no. Your sister would be committing fraud should she attempt to change the will. I would suggest that you seek the assistance of an attorney.
