This case has to do with my dad who is now deceased and the papers do not appear under his name. My brother is the Executor of my father's will and doesn't want to give the information and right now he is nowhere to be found. I will llike to know if there is any way of finding this information this could be in NJ court, already call the court and they can't find it. They are telling me a need a docket number which I don't have or the lawyers do not want to provide. This has to do a with mesothelioma case.
Is there any coding for these cases and where can I find this info. The lawyers for this case are telling me they can't give me any info because I'm not the Executor in the case. Please help. If anyone knows who should I contact that could help. I have no money to hire a lawyer. If this is in the cour'ts public record do I have the right to have them? Are the lawyers for this case telling me the truth?

    It sounds like you’re getting stonewalled. There are certain things that are public information. Go personally to the division of the court that handles wills and probate and ask to see the file with your dad’s will in it. Don’t tell them who you are or why you want to see it. Some courts even have information about court cases on the internet. Go to the site for your county and see what you can find there.If nothing works, do what reporters do when they can’t get information. Use the freedom of information act. If any court only indexes cases only by docket number and not by name, it would be a very inefficient court.
