YOU should tell your lawyers what you want…… Don’t leave it to them to try and GUESS !
Where is an Original Will, signed before the Notary, kept?	The original, signed Will is kept at the Notary office where it was signed, within their books. The Notary then advises the central office in Madrid of the fact that a Will has been made before him/her, and gives only the name of the testator/testatrix, and the date of the Will. The contents are kept confidential.
Can I obtain a Will from the Notary?	The official copy of the Will can only be obtained from the Notary Office in which it was signed. In the case of the death of the Testator/Testatrix, it can only be obtained on the presentation of the official Last Will and Testament Certificate issued by the Ministry of Justice.
