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.
The official record keeper for a county is called the County Recorder. A person can find the County Recorder's office in the courthouse located in the county seat.
The first place to check would be the Clerk's Office for the county in which the decedent resided. Note that the will isn't public record until after the estate is settled and the probate process concluded, and may require a fee to view or receive copies.

There are no official records kept in Talbot County, but considering the record in Baltimore was about 62", I would guess the record is somewhere in the 50's. Either way, they have already broken it in the 2009-10 winter.
Yes. Since official record keeping began in 1950 Scott County, Iowa has had 43 recorded tornadoes.
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.

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.
No, a will is NOT a public record. Added: Once the person dies, the will is probated, or filed with the probate court, and then does become public record.
