There is a museum in downtown Batesville, Arkansas that has the older wills and probate.I went there and was able to copy probate papers etc.I do not know if they have services in-house that will lookup and copy and send to you.It is possible the later probate and wills are still stored at the local courthouse.One of the Independence Co, AR forums has the addresses to both of these places.I am in Tucson, AZ so cannot do this for anyone.I can only suggest you contact both places to see where your wills & probate are stored and if they provide copy services etc.If they do not then you would have to have someone locally retrieve them for you.
