Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
I am the only person named in a will, I am also the executor. Do I have to give a copy of the will to anyone? What if I choose not to give a copy of the will?

A will has to be probated. The original will should be lodged with the court, and a petition for letters testamentary is usually filed. I suggest you consult with an attorney in private to make sure you move forward properly.

The will, without a probate process, likely accomplishes nothing. You need to probate it, which requires filing weith the court and getting appointed as executor. You really need probate counsel to guide you as to the necessary steps.
