Your point about requiring individuals to state a valid reason for accessing a will is particularly interesting. It seems to strike a balance between protecting the privacy of the decedent and their family while ensuring that those with a legitimate interest can verify the will's contents.

Given this nuanced approach, do you think there should be exceptions to this rule in cases where public interest might outweigh privacy concerns? For instance, if a decedent was a public figure or if their estate holds significant cultural or historical value, should the public's right to access the will override the need for a valid reason?
