Answer:

If you know who prepared the Will contact the lawyer who prepared it. If it has been filed and you need it from the Court, the clerk should be able to provide it to you. If you are searching for a Will but don't know where it is located you can check with their bank for a lockbox, their accountant or other person who may know.
