Question:

How do I find my deceased mother's will and estate?

mother's been dead for at least 20 years; nothing ever came of her estate, etc. How can I find out the details?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The estate is the property(land cars clothes etc.)
The will should be with an attorney or could be in a lock box, a file or anywhere.
I suspect that someone knew about it and didn't want to shear or dispense as was requested . there may not have been a will ever made.
Check with the local courts where she died as that should be where it was processed.
