VerifiedHello and welcome! My name is ***** ***** I am a licensed attorney and will try my best to help with your situation. There may be a short delay in my responses as I type out an answer or reply as I am an actual independent practicing attorney, not an employee of JustAnswer.
.
You may be offered a phone call option. If you would like a call, another attorney will provide that service as I only work on the website.

Did father leave his estate to mother?

thanks
Barrister
I don't have any way to send you a copy... I just copy and paste into a Word document when I want to save something..
.
And when mother passes, yes, you may need one if she changed her will. You have no right to see her will while she is living unless she wants to show it to you as it is entirely confidential until admitted to probate.
.
And you are very welcome. Glad I could help.
.
It was my pleasure to work with you and help with your question. If you ever need me in the future, you can post a new question with "For Barrister" in the title and the JustAnswer employees will get it to me.
.
If you feel I have answered all your questions, I would very much appreciate a 5 star rating by clicking on the rating scale on your screen as that is the only way I receive credit for my work.

All the best to you and yours.
