Getting a copy of my Grandmothers will..
Hello,
My paternal grandmother passed away about 2 years ago. I believe my
mother iswas the executor of her will. The relationship between my mother
and myself is somewhat strained. I am pretty sure I was named in my
grandmothers will, but not certain. I wish I could just ask my mother, but
that is not going to happen. How do I get a copy of her will? I do not know
the lawyer involved. I am located in Wayne County, Michigan. Thanks in
advance..

If the Will has been filed for probate, then you cn go to the probate court in the county in which your grandmother was domiciled as of the date of her death. You can obtain a copy of the Will for a small fee; in fact anyone can since it is now a matter of public record.
