A: Sorry to hear of these circumstances. If your mother had a "go-to" or family attorney, you can call that attorney and advise of your mother's passing and request copy of the Will. Otherwise, you can also try to look with all of her other personal papers. If you cannot find the Will, you can always request a search for the Will when you open probate. But, ultimately, to obtain either your default, intestate share of your mother's estate - or any part gifted in a Will, you will have to open succession.
