Where do you go to find living Will's when a parent is deceased

Trying to find a Will if the deceased person didn't leave clear instructions about where the original Will is kept can be difficult or impossible, and it may be that there is no Will at all. To try to find a Will, it's generally best to search the home and any office that the person kept. If there is a safe or safety deposit box, that should also be checked out. Also look through any contact information that the person had on file. If you don't find a Will or a copy of a Will, you mat at least find an attorney or law firm's name and contact info. If so, you can contact the attorney or firm and ask whether they ever worked with the decedent to prepare a Will. You can also contact the probate court for the county where the deceased person lived at the date of death, and any other counties the person may have lived in before death. If you contact a probate court, you need to specifically ask to see if the deceased person ever filed a Will "for safekeeping" with the probate court. If you don't ask whether a Will was filed for safekeeping, you may not get the right answer. If you've searched the home, any offices, any safes, and any safe deposit boxes, contacted any attorneys that you find contact information for in the decedent's possessions, and contacted any probate courts where the decedent may have filed a Will for safekeeping, then you are probably safe in assuming that the decedent, along with the majority of the US population, did not have a Will. Best wishes and a Happy 2018 to you.
