We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Can an executor ask for a copy of the will?

While Executors are legally entitled to see the Will, they may have to apply for a Grant of Probate in order to carry out their duties in regards to the estate, particularly in situations where money is held by an outside organisation or the deceased owned property solely in their own name.

Does an executor have to disclose the will?

A will is considered a private legal document until it is probated. Executors are obligated to protect a deceased persons privacy and must only disclose a will to those who are legally entitled to it. The situation changes once an executor starts the probate process.

Can an executor of a will also inherit?

It is a common misconception that an executor can not be a beneficiary of a will. An executor can be a beneficiary but it is important to ensure that he/she does not witness your will otherwise he/she will not be entitled to receive his/her legacy under the terms of the will.

Who keeps the copy of the will?

Who keeps the original copy of a will? Typically, either the testator, executor, or testators attorney will have the original copy of the will. If youre looking for a copy, contact their executor and/or attorney, then search the deceased persons home.

Can you ask for a copy of the will?

After the death, but before probate is granted, the only the executors (or rather the people named executors in it) have a right to see the Will. At their discretion, they can show it to anyone else. Theyll need to send the original Will with the probate application.
