My husband made a Will and put in the Safe deposit box. He told me that the Will was signed in front of two "friends", and that I am not to open the Will until he dies. He said the "Will" is sealed. He said, when he dies, I am to go to the safe deposit box and get it and get his two friends before I can open the Will.
Does this make sense?
I am his second wife and he does have a child with me. He also has 6 kids from his previous marriage.
I want to know:
1) Can the Will only be open in front of a laywer?
2) Why do I need his friends to be present when I open the Will?
3) Will I get in trouble if I open the Will without the lawyer when my husband dies?
I live in New York.
thank you.
