Question

Is a will in Australia private or Public after it has been red where on the cite do you think i could view?

Answer 1

I don't know how right this is or not but a top solicitor in Melbourne told my mother and myself that after a will has been dealt with by executors it becomes part of public record and anyone can request to look at it.  I don't know what channels you would have to go through to do so.

Answer 2

From the Australian Will Registry website:

Who can retrieve a person's Will Document?

Only those persons who are listed as the Nominated Representative or Professional Service Provider (PSP) of a person's Will Document can retrieve that document.

If you are unsure who is a person's Nominated Representative or PSP, perform a search for the individual's Will Document and contact them.
