The person that makes a will is called a testator. During their lifetime, the original will shall only be delivered to them upon proof of identity.
A testator may authorize another person to pick up their will for them by completing an Authorization to Release Will Held for Safekeeping PC548 which must be signed in front of a witness and notary public.
After death of a testator, copies of the will can be obtained upon presentation of the testator's death certificate. Copies are $1 per page. The original will remains in the court's possession unless the testator or authorized person removes it or an estate is opened.
