Re: Existence of a Will ?
There is no requirement to file a Will while a person is alive in PA. If your parents are not able to tell you where their Will is, check the usual places, safe deposit box, home safe, etc. If your parents used an attorney to prepare the Will, he may have the Will. Some financial planners may hold a copy also.
