It would be in the County Courthouse where your father resided at his time of death. Again, it may be obsolete. We recommend you contact the attorney who prepared the trust & ask for copies of everything.

Also, if there are no assets that need to pass through probate, then they will may be obsolete any way.

Then my mom in 2009. I do not have a copy of the Will generated in 1957. Where can I get a copy? Was this copy filled with the court? When the Trust generated by my mom 4 yrs. ago, did the Will of 1957 have to be declared before the New Trust was generated? I forgot to mention that my dad passed away in 1984. Then my mom in 2009.

She has now passed away as of Nov.6,2009. My question is can this new Trust, take the place of the old will. because the Trust elimanits my oldest brother which predeaced my mother?

He passed away 2 years ago and his family will not release a copy of it to me or any other beneficiary. I was ill for a while (I was diagnosed with cancer) and I wanted to know where they stand with settling his estate but they won't talk with me. Can I request a copy. We are all from California.
