Are there any free resources online to research family documents like fathers last will and testament?

You can only get things online when they have been put online by someone (I guess that is a "no duh" statement).  I seriously doubt someone's (a living person's) will would be online unless they purposely put it there.  Most people keep their wills in a safe deposit box.  It may possibly end up online after they have already passed away if it goes through probate.  Other documents may end up online (like wedding or death certificates) because they are public record at the county clerk's office.  They might be found online if your county images documents and has a website.

Genealogy.com would be a good place to start. If you have a local historical/genealogical society, check with them.

you can do a search of the social security death index, ancestry.com has one but i think you have to subscribe, you may be able to find a free site though. also if you know the name of the person do a web search for them with their name in quotation marks sometimes that pulls info up, also if you know the name of the paper their obit would be in log on to the newspaper and usually they have an archive section that you can search....use the many geneaology sites that offer free info, just do a web search...a couple i use are myfamily.com, ancestry.com

This guide provides information about genealogy research tools, mostly those available on the Internet. If this guide has been mailed to you, use the web site address printed at the bottom of the page to access the guide on the Internet. If you do not have access to the Internet at home, contact your local libraries and ask if they provide Internet access. Or, ask your local libraries if they have access to the books listed below, or other books on genealogy research, especially those specific to American Indians and Alaska Natives. \n\nNote that some web sites charge fees to view records. Searches may be done for free, but the authors of a web site may ask you to subscribe to a service or pay a fee before you can view the information you have found, in which case you may want to explore how you can otherwise obtain the information for free.\n\nThe web sites highlighted below are organized into several groups, but many provide a wide variety of resources. (Some are mentioned more than once.) Therefore, explore what the web sites have to offer, beyond what has been highlighted on this web page. The list below does not represent a complete list of all genealogical resources available, and the National Indian Law Library invites your comments about this web page and the web sites that are linked. Also, if you think an additional site should be linked, please let the library know. You can send an Email (mmartens@narf.org), call, or write. \n\nFinally, your local libraries can be a helpful source of information. Often public libraries have a collection of genealogical materials. Ask you local librarians what books and help guides are available to you. Ask if your local library and the community you live in provide workshops on genealogical research. Good luck with your research!\n\nBeginning Your Research\n\n\nStarting Genealogy and Family History Research - National Archives and Records Administration (NARA)\nhttp://www.archives.gov/genealogy/about-research.html\n\nNARA explains what types of information are needed for genealogy research and highlights books that focus on the research process and document collection.

Guides are linked in the middle and right side columns. The site also offers several newsletters.\n\nHow do I Trace American Indian Ancestry - Department of the Interior\nhttp://www.doi.gov/ancestry.html\n\nThis guide discusses how to begin genealogy research.

The county courthouse has those records and you can get them there. Also some counties are online and you can order copies of the records. The ones I have found online have all charged a fee of around 10 to 20 dollars but was worth it.

with my father passing away Oct. 05 - once the obituary was posted in the newspaper - I was able to get and keep a guest book for him online, but in the mean time able to look up many other obits. www.legacy.com is the easy way to locate obituary/old & new - some you may have to pay for

Contact the local newspaper.  They'll get you a copy for a small fee.  Pretty easy to do.  You might be able to do it online.  I found my grandfathers that way.

I think your best bet is going to a local library and checking the archived newspapers, unless you know of the local newspapers having that archive online.

if it is online..its free. or you can go to the court house itself and look at the file....also free.  if its basic info you need you can call the court clerk and they may be able to help you with some stuff. however, if you need copies of the file because its not local or not online you will have to pay.  you are not paying for the information itself, but rather the photcopies.  just like anywere else...nuthins free.

Wow 1800s? That's probably gonna make your search harder but you can try http://www.zabasearch.com or you can try genealogy and ancestry search websites. Zabasearch is free but some of the genealogy and ancestry websites charge depending on how much information they have. Another resort will be to check with your local library. They often have genealogy and ancestry records and they can be of help to you. Good luck with your search.

you can download papers for a living will usually off the internet for your state easily, just type in living will for (state) ie texas, lousiana etc, and there are sites with free living will forms you just fill out and have witnessed after you complete it.  You can also get a copy of these forms from your local hospital.
