The actual will is held by the lawyer. You only hold a copy.
Not necessarily. My lawyer does not "store" Wills, I have the original in my safe deposit box and a copy in my home files. My named executor has full access to the safe deposit box.

The box might be sealed when the bank learns of your death (the IRS wants to have a witness when it's opened in case it's full of unreported cash). Have an original at home. Seth
