If your mom had a will and her boyfriend of 20 years will not give us a copy of the will how do you go about getting a copy?

If your mother is deceased and the will has been probated, go to the probate court where it was admitted to probate and ask for a copy. You will have to pay a fee, but you will get a copy. If your mother is deceased and the will has not been admitted to probate, you generally go to the probate court and file a lawsuit against the boyfriend claiming that there is a will and that the boyfriend is suppressing it. If you prove these facts, the court will order him to turn it over to the court for further proceedings. Check the laws of your state and talk to a lawyer.

Are all wills filed in the county probate dept and if not is there any official record of someones final will?

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.
