VerifiedHello! Did she pass in the US or in Australia?
Good Evening
You can contact the Supreme Court of QLD and ask them to search their database.
If the Will was probated they can send you a copy of it and they can also tell you who the Solicitor was that acted.
http://www.courts.qld.gov.au/1504.htm
If they did not get probate then you will need to call around the local area where she lived and ask solicitors if they acted for her.
These are the only options.
In hope this is of assistance and if so please click on the accept button.
