Do all listed next of kin have to be notified of will?

In: Estates [Edit categories]

Answer:

Legally, yes. Actually, it would be at the discretion of the estate lawyer and the executor of the will as per their issue of integrity. Notification is required by the court system but there is no checking if it is done, or they may be understaffed, and then you are out of luck.
