is it legal to obtain a copy of a will and reveal it to others before the will owner's death without his permission? .
my brother's will has been revealed to his sons by one of his friends.
Since then my brother has been facing a lot of problems from his son who is excluded in that will ?.
can we file a case against that friend who is also a lawyer for revealing his WILL to his sons without my brother's permission?

The testator can change the Will by cancelling the Will and writing a new one, alternately he can even make codicil of the Will with changes wherever necessary.
If he wants to take action agaisnt the other person, then he can very well do, but since it is a registered document, it becomes a public viewable document.
