Call the probate court for the county in which he died. Otherwise, unless you know who has the will, you cannot see it.

Wills are filed in the circuit court in the town or county in Virginia where the deceased person lived, and heirs are entitled to recieve notice once probate is filed. If your parents are living, they may receive notice instead of you unless you (or grandchildren generally) are specifically named in your grandfather's Will as beneficiaries. Nolo.com has some good, basic information about the probate process in Virginia. Good luck.
