Under the laws of all states in this country, it is best that you send copies of your Will to your executirs and hold onto the original in a safety deposit box and have your attorney keep another wet inked signed Will in her or his possession as a safety mechanism.

Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
