What are the duties of an executor and when do I get to see the will of the estate I just inherited?

Estate Planning lawyer at Reger Rizzo & Darnall, LLP
You need to make sure the directions in the will are carried out, you need to open an estate with the Register of Wills if needed and follow the filing requirements. If you know there is a will and you are the executor, hopefully the decedent told you where the will is.

Can I just destroy an old will and make it invalid?

Yes, you can destroy the old will. Be sure to shred it and any copies completely after you draft a new one. Also, it?s not necessarily a good idea to keep your will in a safety deposit box because, after your death, no one will be able to access it without a court order requiring the bank to give a designated person access.

Is her note legal since it was not notarized or witnessed?

You really need to take all of this to a local probate attorney. It may very well depend on the law of the state in which the will was written.
