How do you obtain your mom's will?

First, a family member must know where a person keeps the Will so that if the person dies, someone can bring it out. Second, after a person dies, the Will must be probated, meaning it must be brought to the Probate Court to be recorded. If the person has debts or is owed money by "entities" (i.e. whoever), the Estate must still be probated even if there is no will or if it cannot be found; the estate would be treated as if the person never made a will, e.g. the person died Intestate, meaning "with no will".

If you are the Administrator of a Will, you will already have a copy of the will. If you were not the Administrator, you can request a copy at the Clerk of Courts office. If it is still in Probate, the Clerks' office may waive the copying fee since you are a direct relative. If for any reason your request is denied, you can hire an Attorney to investigate the denial and to represent your interests in the estate.
