Yes. Many probate departments allow testators to file a will for safekeeping for a minimal charge. That way, no one needs to search for it when the testator dies. They simply visit the court and file a petition to commence the probate procedure.

How can you find the will of a deceased relative?
If your relative died with a will in place, the will was processed by Probate Court. Probate Court is NOT only for people who die without a will. Contact the Probate Court where your father/relative died, and they should be able to provide a copy of the will or guide your search.
Both of your parents died do you have the right to see their will?
When did both your parents die? If they died 2 days ago and the will is in the lawyer's office, then the lawyer or whoever is working with him can insist on doing his work without being pestered. If they died 2 years ago, a copy of the will should have been filed with the probate court. That should be available from the court for a small fee. If they died four months ago and the will is before the probate court, a copy might be available from probate court. It is in this state. It would cost a quarter to call and check in this state. A cell phone call might cost the same wherever you are.

What does it mean to probate a will?
Probating a will means that the will must be presented to the probate court for allowance. The court will examine the will to determine its validity under state laws. When the will is allowed the court will appoint the named executor who is usually the person who submitted the will for probate. If no executor was named in a will the court will appoint the person who requested the appointment as long as there no are objections. An executor named in a will has no power or authority until they have been appointed by the court.The court will issue Letters Testamentary to the executor and the letters provide the authority to settle the estate. The executor must settle the estate according to the provisions in the will and the state probate laws under the supervision of the court. The debts of the decedent must be paid before any property can be distributed to the heirs.

not under its probated I do need a lawyer seeing I do not understand the questions asked in a will so how does one find a NEEDED LAWYER?

You have the will witnessed & notarized when you sign it, and it's filed with the probate court when you die. As far as finding an attorney - just search for attorneys who do probate law.
What happens when you die and you have no heirs and you owe money?

When you die do you file the will with court?
When you die either your named executor or someone in your family who knows where your will is must file it for probate. You must make certain someone knows where to find your will at the time of your death.

The court will review the will to make certain it is technically valid under state laws and if there are no objections it will appoint the Executor. The Executor will be given the authority to settle the estate under the supervision of the probate court.In the case of no will, some qualified person must petition the probate court to be appointed the Administrator. If there are no objections the court will appoint the Administrator and that person will have the authority to settle the estate under the supervision of the probate court.In some cases and in some jurisdictions should the executor die or leave some tasks unfinished the court will appoint a successor to complete the settling of the estate. That person is called an Administrator with the will annexed or an Administrator de bonis non.
