Re: copy of the will
Maybe. Some people (but very few) file their Wills for safekeeping with the Probate Court before they die. If the petition to probate has already been filed, there should be a copy in the court's file. If not, what you can do is to file for an administration of the estate and subpoena whomever you think has the original will. Consult with a local attorney.
