Yes. If a will is filed for probate it will be in the probate records. There is no other depository for wills in the US. If the will was not filed in probate then it is not available unless a family member or some other person in possession of an unprobated will agrees to share it with you.

Can I get a copy of someones will from the city when they have passed away?

AFTER the will has gone through the probate process, it is filed in the court files. Court files are considered public records, however the probate judge, at their discretion, may choose to seal the record. Other than that, you should be able to view it. Whether you can copy it or not may be a matter of local policy or regulation.

Is there a site for free probate court records in broward county fl?

You can search for free basic probate case information from Broward County at the first related link below. Search by name or case number. You can limit your search to probate cases in the Court Type: box. When the search results are displayed, click the case number to get a summary of the case information. If you want more detailed information, you have to register for an account. I found this link at the second related source below, which has links to all of the Florida case record search resources. The first link on that page (Florida Court Records) is a statewide search that also allows you to search for probate records by county. The results include basic information, but there will be a charge if you want the complete record.


How can you obtain a copy of your deceased father's will if you don't know who his lawyer was?

In many states, a copy of the will or the original can be recorded or stored in the probate court where the testator lives. If the will was admitted to probate, the will is a matter of public record and can be accessed in the probate court for the place where he died. Otherwise, if you are not sure who has the will and you cannot find even a copy, it gets difficult. You can place a notice in the local newspaper, or in a state, county or local bar association journal, or in the local probate court.
