What legal process can force my family in Jamaica to show me a will by a Jamaican?
Published Nov 12, 2012Hi Legal Wiz,
A family member has dies and left a will (we believe); how can family members who believe they may be beneficiaries get access to a will if the executor does not provide it? Just wondering if there is a legal process to compel a will to be disclosed to family members.
Thanks.
Kevin
Good day Kevin
Thanks for writing in. Your circumstances have to be weighed to determine the legal process applicable. Usually when the will is to be probated, or if the family member applies for Letters of Administration, the will has to be presented. However, an attorney should be able to assist before you get to the Courts.
All the best!

Wrong dates on the notice, can the landlord take me to Jamaica Court for eviction I did not pay my landlord rent on the first of the month when the rent is due. I paid him late.
