866. Notaries are bound, upon payment of their fees and dues, to give to the parties or to their heirs or legal representatives communication or copies of or extracts from deeds forming part of their official records or of the records of which they are transferees or depositaries. They are not, however, bound, without an order of the court, to give communication or copies of a revoked will or of a deed the publication of which is not required, unless the request is made by the testator himself or by a party to the deed, as the case may be.
