Should you locate a will for which you would like a copy, you may write to:

Clerk of Court
1315 South B Avenue
Nevada IA 50201
Send name, book number, and page number. Include a self-addressed, stamped envelope for return mail.There is 50 cent copying charge per page. I think most are on one page, but you could send $1.00 to be on the safe side. Send as check payable to "Clerk of Court."

Please E-Mail Mark Christian with your questions, comments, or suggestions.
