Is there any way to re-obtain a Will of a deceased person if it has been been lost or misplaced?

Answer 1

Typically there should be three copy's of a will, but not always. When using an attorney to design a will (highly recommended), the attorney will retain one copy, one will be in the possession of the owner and the third would either be given to the expected executor of the estate or stored in a safe deposit box.

However, wills are a tricky thing... The are not mandated, so state agencies won't have them on file. Furthermore, there are tons of fill in the blank computer programs out there, so some people might have a will designed and the only copy you're going to find is saved on their computer hard drive. Wills of this nature are sometimes contested and have a difficult time standing a lit mas test of legal legitimacy.

Contacting any attorney who was involved in settling the assets would be the first step in recovering a will that has already been ruled upon.

Answer 2

Call the lawyer that handled it in the first place and there will be a small charge for paper work .
