The trust fund may have contained the entire estate with nothing left for the will.  A probate for your mother should have been opened and thw will submitted for probate even if no assets left for will to dispose of.  If this is the case the probate record is open as a public record at the court house where your mothers estate would have been probated.  Surely you have a copy of the trust agreement?  This should give you the right to audit the trust accounts if you are a beneficiary.  See a lawyer in the county where your mom lived or died won't cost that much to clarify everything for you.  Remember trusts hold the assets for you after death and OUTSIDE of any will.  The will can only take care of those things that are not in the trust.

Check the papers he handed you.  There should be a court name on the top (e.g. 2nd division of the x county of y state).  Call that county courthouse clerk's office and ask them if they have a copy of whatever divorce document was handed to your mom.\n\nI'm a bit surprised that no lawyer would give you a free consultation.  Keep checking the phone book - maybe you can get a free legal opinion from an attorney in your state (that would be the best answer).

If you're in it, you will be contacted.  Otherwise, after the will is probated, it will be a public document-- you can contact a local probate court to figure out how to see a copy.

Don't count on those other two posts. Nothing on either site is FREE. I have tried relentlessly to search for info such as what your looking for. Nothing free, nada, no way. Wish I could tell you different.........I did find one you could sign up for 2 yrs at 39.95. But I am again in the same place as you are: I only wanted to look up one person, so that was not for me either. Then my niece went to work for an attorney and he let her look it up for me.

If there  is no will....then no, your mother is not entitled to anything, unfortunately. \n\nWhen someone dies intestate, the estate is left to the next of kin. While it may hurt your mother, she should remember that she got the real blessing, a good friend for 12 years and the satisfaction of knowing she did the right thing and truly helped someone. Money would be nice, but I am sure that is not why your mother did what she did.\n\nPlease tell your mother she is a wonderful soul for me.

Not being an attorney, I would believe it goes something like this:\n\nIf you mother dies, you believe she has a will but have not seen it. SHe would have a copy, likely in her papers or safe deposit box. If you have no access, you contact an attorney to help. They will get a judge to declare an executor and the heirs because there is no known will. There may be taxes and fees involved. If no will is found, there is no will. \n\nIt seems that you believe that the lawyer has the only legal copy...they do not. They have a security copy to prove you mother's is not corrupted. It is your mother responsibility to appoint an executor to execute the will in her name. The executor shoudl know this before hand...and perhaps the location of the will, but not the contents of the will. \n\nThe attorney or judge could pulish in a law journal for known wills of people too.

You have to find out of your grandmother has a will. Everything will go to whom ever she names. You will not be able to do anything about it.

Check with Probate Court in your county, the will should have been probated, and the information will be on file there.

The answer depends upon the state where the parents had their domicile at the time of their deaths. Where did they live? Intestate (without a will) estates are the subject of state laws, so there are in fact, 50 different answers to your question. In some states it is rather simple and inexpensive to resolve such a matter, and in other states it is unfortunately not so. I would suggest going to a nearby law library (such as at a law school or in a county courthouse) where you can probably find information that would help. And no, it's not rocket science. With a few minutes time you would be able to read and understand some of the basics of whatever state you're in. You could also probably get some of the basic information from the local clerk of court.

If you subscribe to Nexus you should be able to access it. Alternatively visit the law library near you.

To keep down all the confusion the best way is to pool some money together an hire a lawyer for one hour an let him read the will that way there won't be any confusion as to what each person gets. Know from experience when my father passed away my 4 brothers wanted to clean out his house and that isn't what he wanted, there was things that was promised to me an they knew it. Took will to lawyer with money and all ended up the way he wanted it.

Sorry to hear it, you should try and find a way to tell your mother, it won't be east but she needs to know. You could try contacting a bereavement counselling service such as cruse or a similar organisation.\nA great site for finding people is B4USEARCH.COM you just put in the full name or even just the surname and the town or city and it shows you all the details you need, it's great for finding lost friends and relatives. Click the link. http://www.b4usearch.com/

All most all court documents can be viewed at no charge. You just need to know how to look them up in the courts indexing system. You just need to go to the specific division within the court house whether it be municipal, Superior or traffic and search there indexing service by name. Once you find the name, note the case number and request the file to be viewed. Some court districts are now on line. You might wish to check the Internet to see if the specific court house has a web presence and if they participate in Court Connect. If they participate in Court Connect you should be able to view limited case history on the net. Look for a Court Connect icon on the home page and follow the link. Good luck, if you have any futher questions please feel free to contact me through Yahoo Answers!

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.
