Will filed in Elizabeth, NJ
« on: Monday 24 September 18 22:33 BST (UK) »
Some advise please
I would like to get a will from 1924 (Olivia Lakeland, Summit NJ). It seams to have been filed in Elizabeth, NJ going by newspaper reports.
What is my first port of call in trying to obtain this will and probate?
Thanks

1. Google the city and state to learn the county.
Elizabeth NJ  --> Union County NJ

2. Google the name of the county and state followed by "probate" to get the right department.
Union County NJ probate --> http://ucnj.org/surrogate/wills-estates-and-probate/

3. then I looked in the left column and found
http://ucnj.org/surrogate/how-to-obtain-a-copy-of-the-will/

I'm not saying it's correct, but it looks like the best place to start.
