Original Last Will & Testament My sister had a will drawn up in New Jersey.
Original Last Will & Testament
My sister had a will drawn up in New Jersey. She has since been declared incompetent to handle her own affairs and has been moved to a nursing home in Illinois. I have a durable POA and closest living relative. I have sold all her property in New Jersey and all she has left is a portfolio which I am managing for her. I have asked her lawyer in New Jersey to send me the original of the will, so that I will be ready for probate when she passes away. The lawyer refused, citing privacy issues. He claims my sister asked him to keep it safe for her. I do have a copy of her will, but not the original. I do have originals of her POA and Living Will.
What privacy issues is the NJ lawyer talking about? I have copies of all her documents, bank statements, investments, pensions, etc.
Do I have a legal right to get the original will? Does he have a legal right not to give it to me? He said that a colleague researched the subject for him and under NJ Law and legal ethical standards, he cannot send the original to me until my sister passes away and that my POA does not give me any testamentary rights.

What consitutes an estate?
My mother recently passed away and there is some confusion as to what would be included in her estate. She left no will. There are 3 living children and one deceased. My mother quit claimed the house to all 4 kids. Her investments are listed to the 3 surviving children except for a money market account that is by estate and her car. Since my sister is deceased is my niece heir to the money market and the car. We have never done this before and want to be fair to all involved.
