If you wish to view or obtain a copy of a Will or codicil, you must provide the Court with a certified copy of the decedent’s death certificate or an informational copy issued by the Office of Vital Records or the County Recorder’s Office.
There is no charge to view a copy of the Will or codicil; however, to purchase a copy you must pay the applicable fees ($.50 per page). If you submit a request by mail, please include the certified/information copy of the decedent’s death certificate, payment by check made out to “Superior Court of San Diego” or a completed Credit Card Payment Form (ADM-253), and a self-addressed and stamped envelope to return your copies. Certified or exemplified copies carry additional fees as set forth in the current version of the Court’s Fee Schedule.
