Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Hey Liam,

You are really getting into this now. Wills and probate are kept in the towns and states where they were executed. Some places keep lists of old wills online, for example the Shelburn Genealogical Society has some information online, but requests that you pay for copies that they make of the complete wills. Some wills are easy to get, like Mayflower decendent wills.

Roots.com keeps them too, and there are many other places. Finding them can be hit or miss. Many sites will charge for wills.

Finally, the old reliable Cindislist.com - has a wills and probate section with enough information to make you the expert!
