Beyond those that you decide to provide a copy to, no one is entitled to a copy or the original will prior to your death. After death, only certain individuals have the legal right to obtain a copy of the will. If you name someone as a beneficiary in the will, they have the right to obtain a copy.

How long does the executor have to read the will?

Although a will can be read aloud after someone dies, it is not protocol to read a will aloud in California. Thus, there is no official timeline for when a will is read. Therefore, the more appropriate question to ask is: how long after a person dies will beneficiaries be notified?

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.

Are heirs entitled to a copy of the will?
