Order a copy from the county where the marriage took place. They HAVE to provide you with a marriage certificate. This is the law.

Are you saying that the certificate was never filed with the State of California OR that it was filed and then lost?
I fail to see how/why the marriage certificate would change a will. It doesn't A WIFE/HUSBAND is automatically entitled to a percentage. A sister is not.
If the marriage certificate was never filed the Justice of the Peace would need to file an Affidavit with the State stating ALL of the circumstances and the State will attempt to track down the details and issue a replacement.
Of there IS no Will the "lady" who is married to him needs to contact an Attorney. With a marriage and no Will the wife/husband automatically inherits and the care taker is not entitled to inherit.

You can apply for a replacement copy of the marriage certificate from the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages in your state.
