Wills

What is the name of your state? California

Me and five other people were named in a family friends will, her son came forward with a new will in which we weren't named. Does this mean the new will null and voids us from the previous will? Can anyone help me figure this out? The first will was dated November 22, 2001 and the other will is dated January 13, 2002. Both are notarized. And its already been through Probate.
Any information would be helpful.

What are the dates on both wills? Were each notarized? Which will has been probated if any?

You need a lot more information here before an answer can be given.

Have you asked the attorney to mail you a copy at your new address? If you are named as a beneficiary in the new will, then the EXECUTOR does have the responsibility of sending it to you if you request a copy of it by sending the executor a certified letter.

Have you actually seen a copy of the new will? If not, then you need to check at the county courthouse probate court to see if it has been filed yet--if it has, you can get a copy of it there.

The new will does void the previous one, but it doesn't automatically prevent you from inheriting unless your name was eliminated from it--you need to examine the new will to see if you are still named as beneficiary in it.
