Most every state has courts that handle the probate of a decedent's will. Most states are divided into counties. Normally, one would go to the court in the county in which the decedent was domiciled at the time of death to see if a will had been probated. You should be able to obtain a copy by paying a copying charge. Some states may also maintain a statewide registry of wills in which case you I would expect to go to the probate court in the state capital. If the individual is still living, you have no right to see the will if it has not been filed with the court. They are under no obligation to reveal their wishes to anyone before their death.
