Re: need help with my fathers will
The Will cannot be properly probated unless you receive notification. Nor can the estate be distributed unless you receive notice.
Why not contact the widow; or your father's lawyer; or a business associate of your father's; or the clergy.
Do you have any record of his property? That might help if a transfer has taken place.
It takes an effort.
Re: need help with my fathers will
If you get an attorney who is in the county where your father lived, the attorney can file a simple motion to get you a copy of the will.
