No one usually files a will until a person dies, IF there is property to probate. Call or contact the county Register of Wills where she died and have them run a search. it may be that the will was never filed. If it was filed, an estate may have been opened and you can look at those records to see if you were to inherit anything. if no will was filed you can see if she had an attorney and contact him to see if he has a copy or the original. Beyond that, its difficult to find an old will if it wasnt filed.
