Wills can be a complicated subject, have a look at the notes by Jane Lyons
at this site
http://www.sci.net.au/userpages/mgrogan/cork/ire.cork.htm
Most of the wills were burned in 1922 but many were restored from copies
held by solicitors and family, the more recent the better your chances. For
a will probated before 1858 you are unlikely to find a copy but you might
find an abstract that was taken for research purposes before 1922.

Will can be obtained from the national archives but you need to employ a
private researcher to do it (if you are in Dublin you can do it in person)
See the national archives web site for further details.
