How can you get a copy of a will in Ontario if the executor won't give it to you and you don't know the name of the lawyer?

Prior to the death of a person, the content of the will is a private matter. After a person has died, the will could be probated. But probate is often not required for estates of small value. Once a will has been probated, it becomes a public document, and may be examined. But there is a significant fee charged by the court to examine a will. Check with the court office for the location where the deceased person lived, or owned property. Your best bet might be to consult with an Ontario lawyer who practises in the area of Wills and Estates. The Law Society of Upper Canada maintains a Lawyer Referral Service if you don't know which one to contact. Of course, the lawyer will charge his or her normal fees.
