If you would have completed law school, you might have learned that the
Full Faith and Credit Clause applies to "public Acts, Records, and
judicial Proceedings". A will is neither a public act, nor a public
record, nor a judicial proceeding.

There's also the public policy exception to the Full Faith and Credit
Clause, but since a will does not fall within the clause, there's no
need to discuss it here.
