Who can view my will factsheet - Legal Services Commission of SA
After you have died:
a person named in the will
a person named in an earlier will as a beneficiary
your surviving spouse, partner, child or stepchild
any former spouse or partner
your parents or guardians
anyone who would be entitled to a share of your estate had you died without a will
a parent or guardian of a child who is named in the will or would be entitled to a share of your estate had you died without a will
a person managing your estate under a guardianship or administration order immediately before your death.
Siiiigh. This sure opens a can of worms. I can legally exclude relatives, but they will get the whole thing (and can presumably harass any beneficiaries named and otherwise try to make a mess of things).

Beneficiaries of my will are expected to have access to these things. This appointment doesn't have to be done in person, which is nice.
