Wills are found in the probate records in the Surrogate's Court in
each county in New York State. Probate records include case files,
minute books, record books of wills, letters, orders, etc.  If the
will was filed in New York City, you can go to

Surrogate's Court
31 Chambers Street
New York, NY 10007
(212) 374-8233

If you need any additional clarification, please let me know prior to
