Trust and will

I can't tell from your question exactly what the situation is, but I assume your mother has recently passed away and that you're now trying to find her original Will. If that assumption is correct, then please accept my condolences on your loss. In Georgia, Wills are not generally recorded anywhere until after the Will creators die. If you can contact the firm that prepared your mother's Will, then they may either have the original or have some information on where she planned to keep it. It is also possible (I have no idea whether it is also likely) that her original Will was filed with the county where she lived for safekeeping. To find out, you can call the Probate Court of the county where she had her principal residence at the time the Will was prepared, and you can tell them that she has passed on and that you are trying to locate her original Will and need to know whether they have her original Will held for safekeeping. Be very sure to use the exact term "safekeeping," because Wills held for safekeeping for people who were living when their Wills were given to the probate court may not be stored in the same place that Wills that have been filed after peoples' deaths are kept. If they have an original Will on file for your mother, they will tell you how to go about getting it from them or getting a copy of it. If they don't have the original for safekeeping, then the next step willl be to look through all of her possessions. It could be in a safe deposit box at the bank, it could be held in a desk drawer or file cabinet, it could be behind the water heater, it could be in a laundry basket or a closet- you'll need to search. Best wishes to you.
