MONROEVILLE, Ala. — Famously private in life, “To Kill a Mockingbird” author Harper Lee is keeping her secrets even in death.

Monroe County Probate Judge Greg Norris signed an order last week to seal Lee’s will from public view, according to court records available Monday. Lawyers for Lee’s personal representative and attorney, Tonja Carter, had asked for the will to remain private and Lee’s heirs and relatives agreed to the request, according to the court filing.

“As the Court is no doubt aware, Ms. Lee highly valued her privacy,” the lawyers wrote. “She did not wish for her private financial affairs to be matters of public discussion. Ms. Lee left a considerable legacy for the public in her published works; it is not the public’s business what private legacy she left for the beneficiaries of her will.”
