You only need to call the office, let him/her know your mother has died and request an original copy of her will. At the same time you could inquire about having that attorney represent the estate.

If she indeed made a will and the will was submitted for probate (the legal settlement/distribution) of her estate, the will will now be a public document, and you may request a copy of it (for a fee) from your county's public records office.

If this legal process has not happened then you need to find out who dealt with the estate (acted as executor) and ask them.

In these days of trusts and survivorship, a will may be more of an instrument of management of these entities rather than a listing of bequests. Also, there are milestones that the executor must meet, including payments of debts before distributions are made. It can take some time for these processes to occur and the information you seek may not be in the will.
