How can someone go about getting a copy of their late father’s last will and testament?
My friend’s father passed away a few years ago and left behind a will to show how he would like his assets to be distributed. My friend was not concerned at the time about the contents of the will, since he was mourning the loss of his father, so he never asked to see it.
Over the last couple of years, his two brothers have given him reason to believe that he is actually entitled to more of his father’s estate, than what they have told him he is entitled to. His brother claims that he is the executer of the will and has even gone so far as to tell my friend that he is in charge of the money that my friend knows is his from the inheritance. His brothers have told him that he is only able to recieve a one small monthly alotment his own money and when he is able to receive it. (My friend and his brothers are in their late 40’s, so the chances it being a "responsiblity" issue are not likely.)
Their lifestyles however, suggest that they are not living on a small monthly alotment of their "share" of the inheritance and that my friend really is being cheated out of a huge portion of what is rightfully his.
My friend was really close to his father, while his two brothers did not have such a close relationship with him, so it is very unlikely that his father would have put the stipulations on how my friend spent his inhetitance.
Recently, my friend has suffered some financial distress and the money that he knows that he is supposed to be getting has all but stopped, for one excuse or another, so my friend would like to find out once and for all what the will actually says so that he can get away from his brothers altogether.
My friend cannot remember what law firm drew up his fathers will, so that he can look into this further.
Is there any other way that my friend can find out exactly what the will said, once and for all?
Thank you for your answers!
What’s the difference between a will and a testament?
Why are they always in the phrase together, "last will and testament?" What’s the difference exactly? Can you have one without the other? My concern is who would become guardian of my child, not who would inherit any assets.
Last Will and Testament?
I’m just new here in USA, can I make my last will and testament online or do I have to go to the bank and have witnesses. My problem is I don’t have relatives here in our place, Michigan. Though I don’t have yet any assets or money and I’m fully dependent with my husband; but since I lost my trust on him, he is bad. He bought life insurance for me that I didn’t know as if I sense that he wanted to kill me for money to get insurance and plus because I came from another country he gives me credit cards and made me as a primary owner which at that time I sense him that my husband wants to do bad things to me. He wants to put all his debts and loans in my name he thought that I’m a foolish and I don’t know anything here in USA.
I need to write a will just in case he forge my signature or some of his credit union accounts like Michigan First Credit Union has their family CUNA Life Insurance. I’m afraid that he can still bought a life insurance for me even without health examination. The first life insurance he bought for me a nurse came to our house and check my urine and blood test; but I called veteran’s life insurance and cancelled it though my husband is the one who is paying. I just want to make sure my husband don’t have any life insurance that he bought for me. How can I make sure of that?

Last Will and Testament?
I’m new here in USA and I don’t have yet any assets or money. I’m fully depending with my husband. My question is can I write last will and testament eventhough you have no money or assets yet. I’m afraid that my husband bought a life insurance for me without my knowing like in his credit union like Michigan Credit Union which has a CUNA Family Life Insurance which I’m a joint in that account. I’m afraid that he can collect life insurance on me without knowing. I don’t want my husband to become the beneficiary at all. I want my parents to become beneficiary in the future. Can I do my last will and testament for the future?
How can I find my Grandparents last will and testament?
My grandmother just passed away at age 94, and my grandfather passed in 1983. My father and his sister are the only survivors, but his sister is trying to keep all of the assets. My father is the only son, and he’s the oldest. We know there was a will & testament, but she is telling him it was burned and thrown away. The attorney who drew up the papers for the will, is also deceased, and we don’t even know what his name was. There are over 100 acres of land on a ranch at stake, along with a lot of personal belongings. If you know what my father can do, your advice will be more than appreciated.
