Now, it may be that Seidlin just wanted it entered into the records in Florida as evidence that there was a will and the original was filed in California.(Which I think is the case).
What bothers me is: Where's the da** cover sheet and when was the will requested? I expect to see "Per your request, I am forwarding .......... There is also a Confidentiality statement which goes with the fax.
Every attorney's office that I know has a Standard Fax Coversheet. I receive them all the time.
Will filed in California indicates it is a copy. I don’t think the original was ever provided. The first filing in May “copy” was checked.
i would imagine that ethics would demand a coversheet, with a disclaimer along the lines of, if you received this in error, call immediately, this is confidential kinda stuff for addressee’s eyes only
