A Will is a highly classified, legally binding document, which means it can only be viewed by certain individuals to ensure it remains protected. If you are wondering who your Will can be viewed by, here is some clarification on the matter:
What is a Will?
A Will ensures that your estate is dealt with in accordance with your wishes in the event of your death. Having a Will makes it easier to ensure your estate is distributed fairly and helps to settle disputes between families.
Who Has Authority to View a Will?
When writing a Will, you will be asked to select appropriate executors; these are trusted individuals who are entitled to read the will at any time and will be tasked with distributing your estate, completing paperwork, and settling debts and funeral fees.
After Probate
The executor usually needs to apply for a grant of probate to begin distributing the estate. Once probate is granted, the Will can be viewed by any member of the public.
