I should add that even if there is no probate estate opened with the court, the person who has possession of the original will is required to file it with the court. So if you contact the person who is appointed PR, and they say there will be no estate, you can ask for a copy of the will. It sounds like you need to schedule a consultation with a probate attorney.
