Here’s an interesting question for Trout and some of the estate lawyers:
Are wills discoverable prior to the testator’s death? Or put simply, does a person have a right to see another’s will?
For example in the case of marriage or relationship breakdown and resulting proceedings, can the wife or girlfriend require the husband or boyfriend to produce a copy of the latter’s will to see the extent of the bequests (if any) to the former? I am wondering more about a common law relationship breakdown.
Second question, do the testator and witnesses have to initial each page of a will?
Thanks.
