Good morning Suzi55!

If your grandmother's will was probated in Randolph, Vermont, it would
most likely be probated through the Orange COunty Probate Court.

I spoke with Marilyn of the Orange County Probate Court in Vermont
regarding procedures for obtaining your grandmother?s will.  She
informed me that for a will as far back as the 80?s, they would have
moved it to an off-site storage facility and would have to search for
it.

To obtain a will, simply send a written request, including your
grandmother?s name and town of residence to:

Orange County Probate Court
5 Court Street
Chelsea, VT 05038-9746

There is a copying fee but she said it varied, depending on the amount
to be copied. Most vital record copying fees that I have seen
throughout the US is $2.00 to $3.00 for the first 3 pages with $0.10
to $0.25 per additional page, however I cannot be certain.

I would suggest that you include in your written request something to
the effect of:

"If you have a charge for photocopying and mailing these records,
either send your billing statement to me along with the records and
payment will be remitted immediately; or, notify me immediately by
phone or letter as to the amount of these charges and I will remit
payment with the understanding that you will then send the records to
me upon receipt of payment."

You can contact the Probate Court at (802) 685-4610  if you have any
other questions.

If this answer requires further explanation, please request
clarification before rating it, and I'll be happy to look into this
further.
