If you are looking to view the last will and testament of a deceased person, the best way to do so is to obtain the probate court file number. This information can be provided by the executor of the will, or can be accessed by phone, online, or in person at the court by providing the name and date of death of the deceased person. Once you have the file number, you can use it to access the will. Depending on the state, you may be able to view the will online or you may need to visit the court in person.
If you are viewing it online, you may need to pay a fee. If you are visiting the court in person, make sure to bring a valid form of identification. You may also need to provide proof that you are related to the deceased person or that you have been granted permission by the executor of the will. Once you have access to the will, make sure to read it carefully.
It is important to understand all of its contents and any instructions that it contains. If there are any questions or concerns about the will, it is best to consult with an attorney who specializes in estate law.
