"Lodged" is not quite the same as "filing". The Probate Code requires a custodian to lodge a will of a deceased person, whether or not that custodian intends to file a petition for probate. If no probate petition is filed, it may be because all assets are in a trust. You should be able to find the name of the "lodger" (probably a lawyer) and get more info.
