Re: looking for a copy of my fathers will and testament
You can petition the court for a copy of the will. Because of your location, I would suggest you retain an attorney in the county where your father lived, and have the attorney file the appropriate motion.

If the will is being probated, the will must be on file with the court. You or your attorney need only inspect the records of the Surrogate's Court of the county in which your father resided.

Some preliminary questions would be:
(1) Do you know your father had a will?
(2) Is it being probated? In Ontario?
(3) Where was he residing?
(4) Where were his assets?
