Question
Is it easy to track down a will of a deceased
relative if I dont know where it is located?

ANSWER
No. This can be quite difficult. If you know the
deceased person used a particular lawyer for some
purpose in the past, you should try to contact
that lawyer. If you have trouble finding that
lawyer, you should contact the Law Society of
Alberta to see if that lawyer is still practicing.

ANSWER (CONTD)
If this turns out to be a dead end, you should
contact banks that the deceased relative had
dealings with to see if one of these has a safety
deposit box belonging to the deceased. Though
its not a good idea to store your will at home,
many people do this.
5
ANSWER (CONTD)
Places to check are desk drawers and filing
cabinets, a safe (if the deceased had one), and
even storage containers within a freezer. I have
learned that some people use freezers to store
important documents, however, I dont personally
recommend this storage technique.
