If the estate goes to probate, you will be able to see it at the courthouse.
A decedent's Will must be filed with the probate court of her residence within ten days of her death. You can obtain a copy of the document from the Probate clerk. There is NO guarantee you were named as a beneficiary so do not count on anything.
If there is a will, it needs to be filed in the probate court. You can obtain a copy of the will from the court. It should have been filed by now. Regards,
The will must be filed, so check the courthouse
