<p class="MsoNormal">I've done this many times. You just prepare your regular petition for probate (with a mention that will was filed with the court on such-and-such a date), go to the clerk's office, file the petition, and pay the full filing fee. You can
reuse the cause number. You can ask that the clerk bring the will to the courtroom. The court needs the original will to admit it to probate (certified copy will not do) and the clerk will not give the original will to you--it has to stay in the court's
possession. </p>
