QUESTION
How do I find out if a will was probated

More details to this question:
friend says she needs 4000 to pay some type of fees before her inheritance funds will be released. Before we loan her the money, want to make certain that she is in fact an heir and the will was probated which would entitle her to a sum of money.

This sounds bogus...though your friend, as well, may be being scammed. If you decide to loan the money, note that you cannot put a lien on or make a claim against the estate. At best you can get a prommissory note from your friend and sue her for that, knowing that the money is probably long gone. As Shakespeare wrote, "Neither a borrower nor a lender be for money often loses both itself and friend."
