    You will need to give better details than that if you want a proper answer. In what circumstances do you want to see the will?

    A Will prior to death is under the control of the testator, he/she can show it to you if they want. When they die, the will is probated by the executor.

    If there is a legal challenge to a probate, an affidavit of scripts is filed by both sides which shows all copies of wills that either party has possession of.

    A will after probate becomes a public document with the grant of probate, a copy can be got for 10 euros for wills probated in the last 20 years from the probate office, phoenix house, smithfield, dublin 7, for ones older then 20 years they can be got from the national archives.
