It sounds like you need a lawyer. A will is not like a title to a car - the government does not require filing for the will to be valid and enforceable. In some jurisdictions, there are issues with keeping copies of wills. The decedent should keep the original in safekeeping. Sometimes this means leaving it with a trustee. To make an answer short, the decedent should have made arrangements for it to be found. If not, then some difficulties arise in ascertaining the decedent's intent. --Colobikeguy (talk) 07:40, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Jurisdictional differences
Here in the US there are jurisdictional differences. Also, I would like to hyperlink to US sources. I thought I did this before, but will do again. If there are hyperlinks on the subject page, please leave them.
