No how can i request to see my mums revoked wills and the file notes from solicitor that drsfted will
In Western Australia, to request access to your mum's revoked wills and the file notes from the solicitor who drafted them, you can follow these steps:
- Contact the Solicitor: Write a formal letter to the solicitor who drafted the will, requesting copies of the revoked wills and any file notes.
- Legal Right to Access: As a beneficiary, you may have the right to access certain documents. Be clear about your relationship to the deceased and your interest in the estate.
- Executor's Role: The executor of the estate may have the authority to grant access to these documents. Contact the executor if you haven't already.
One question: Are you the executor of your mum's estate?
No
Since you're not the executor, you can still request the documents, but the executor has primary control over them. You can:
- Contact the executor and formally request the documents.
- If the executor refuses, consider legal advice to understand your rights as a beneficiary.
