A will does not have to be filed anywhere to exist or be legal. So without being able to ask you for further details, here are a few things to consider: If someone has died: In Oklahoma, if a will has been probated, you would contact the Court Clerk in the county where a person who died (a ‘decedent') lived or held property. If no one has died: You will need to ask the person who's Will you are seeking for a copy of it. NOTE: Do understand that in no state is anyone required to give you a copy of his or her Will unless he or she wants you to have it. There will be similar processes in all 50 states. It is always wise to ask a local attorney to be sure you are following the laws of the particular state involved. That attorney can also ask you a few more questions to determine your situation and give more specific instructions.
