Will

My 94 year old uncle told me and 2 of my siblings that we were left in his will. He died last week and how would I get more information about his will? Are wills public information ?

Re: Will

I'm sorry for your loss.

It will probably take at least a few weeks for your uncle's executor to file the will in the probate department, but after that you can go to the probate department and "checkout" the file and read through the will.

If you were named in the will, you'll get a copy in the mail anyway along with a form called "Waiver of Process and Consent to Probate." You should do nothing for a month, at least.

Good luck.
