There are several local services that you can find at this list of Probate Registries:

or you could try searching the National Will Database:

but I think that's a commercial venture.

∙ 13y agoBriefly: The process typically involves presenting the will to the probate court so that it can be examined and approved. At the same time you petition to be appointed the executor. The heirs at law will be notified of your petition and any one of the heirs may file an objection which the court will review. If the objection is upheld the court will appoint someone else. If not, the court will issue Letters Testamentary to you and you will have the authority to settle the estate as the executor according to the provisions in the will and the state probate laws, under the supervision of the court.

∙ 15y agoFirst, a person making out his or her will names you to be the executor. Then when that person passes away, you take the will and a certified copy of the death certificate to the probate court of the jurisdiction in which the decedent was domiciled at the time of his death. File the appropriate applications to probate the will and prove due execution of the will by whatever means that court requires. Then you sign papers agreeing to be the executor and promising to do the job properly. Pay the required fees. Then the court will send you documentation proving that you are now the executor.

What to do with a will when someone dies?
You must first be certain that what you have is the original (and not a copy) of the Will and that this is the LAST version of the person's Will. The Will usually appoints an executor who is responsible for carrying out what the Will sets out. The Will should be given to the executor(s) along with the death certificate and all the information you can find relating to the persons bank accounts, shares and property holdings (all that the deceased owned). The executor(s) will then prove the Will in a court of probate and once that has been done and any outstanding taxes and debts have been settled, they will distribute the estate (the dead persons property) as the Will instructed.

But don't worry, even if the last will and testiment leave funds to a specific individual, as a creditor, you have a higher claim to the funds than those named under the will.
