Summary
The new law allows any Montgomery County resident who has a will to deposit it with the judge of probate’s office, where it is entered into a confidential docket. Only the will‑maker, their attorney, or legal representative can view the file before death, while the docket itself is open for public inspection. The judge may charge a reasonable fee for each filing.
