Q: Can I find any information on whether my father left a will in Texas?
My father lived and died in Waco Texas. He died on September 9, 2019.
A: While some people deposit their will with the local probate court, most do not. Most people die without a will. If you have thoroughly searched your father's home an if he did not have a safety deposit box in which he might have put it, chances are good that he had no will.
Tammy L. Wincott and Tim Akpinar agree with this answer
A: You can call the Probate Clerk department for the County where he lived to see if he deposited the will for safekeeping or if he regularly used a lawyer you may want to ask them if they ever prepared a will for your dad.
