According to clause 1 of article 1118, clause 2 of article 1119 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, a citizen may dispose of property in case of his death by making a will. At the same time he is not obliged to inform anyone about the content, making, modification or cancellation of the will. A will must be in writing and certified by a notary. Failure to comply with these requirements will invalidate the will. As you know, one copy of a notarized will remains in the notary's files, while the other copy is given to the testator. Thus, first of all, you can find out about the existence of the will after death from the notary who certified the will. And if you do not know the notary who certified the will? If you are able to do so, carefully inspect the personal effects of the deceased, especially the places in the home where he or she kept important documents. If a will exists, you may be able to find a copy of it in the home. People who lived with the testator in the same apartment may know there is a will. However, people who live in the same apartment as the testator are usually his or her legal heirs, which means that they are not interested in finding out about the document. It is quite possible that such relatives will not tell the heir under the will about such an important paper, even if it is in the deceased's belongings. Since the testator could theoretically apply to any notary for probate, heirs need to apply to all notaries in the Russian Federation to discover the will, which in practice is unlikely to be feasible. However, you can first try to apply to the notaries at the last place of residence of the testator or the location of his real estate owned by him by providing them with the documents confirming the fact of death. If you are lucky enough to find a will that was left by the deceased in your favor, apply to the notary for probate. If the will is not found or close relatives of the deceased do not give it to you, we recommend contacting the Legal Bureau of probate for a decision on the opening of the probate case and registration of inheritance. +7 495 585-6884

There are three main ways to find out about the existence of the deceased's will: search for it in personal belongings; contact the notary assigned to the area where the testator lives; send a request to the notary's office. Of course - only after the death of the testator.

In principle, apply to any notary of the notarial district is a city, Moscow, for example, or the region with a request for a will. You do not need to wait for 6 months.

Take grandmother's death certificate and a certificate in MFC in form 2 about residence / nonresidence together with the testator. And 1000 rubles. You go to the notary. Say - I think there was a will, but I do not know. I want to write a statement of acceptance of the inheritance. The notary looks at the register of wills and either accepts your statement, or not accept. And the content of the will - you will find out later.

The will is made in two copies, so even if it is destroyed, the other copy is kept by the notary. As soon as the time comes, the notary will contact the heirs.

The notary is NOT required to look for heirs. So BEFORE the expiration of six months from the date of death go to him with the above documents, otherwise you will have to prove in court that you missed the deadline for a good reason.

You have to go to the notary and the notary will find out what was bequeathed to whom. The fact that your relatives will hide the truth won't do them any good. You can contact a knowledgeable lawyer, such as a Moscow lawyer Andrei Knyazev. I went to him and won my case.
