Lawyers have specific instructions and regulations regarding who they share the contents of the will with. After someone dies, the contents are shared with the beneficiaries and interested parties only. The above answer is correct, so here are just a few details for which the answer was flagged: Before the testator dies a lawyer can keep a will from everyone except the testator if the testator wants it back. After the testator dies, a lawyer can keep a will from everyone except the named executor or other person who has the first obligation to probate the will. After the testator dies, a lawyer representing an executor can keep a will from everyone, even beneficiaries, if the executor directs the lawyer to not to give it out. The lawyer has to go by the client's directives, even though they may be misguided. The lawyer will tell the executor that it is the executor's obligation to give the will to beneficiaries; but it is the executor's obligation to give out the will. The lawyer does not act independently of the executor. Lastly, there is no "law" that specifies whether a lawyer can or cannot keep a will from someone. The above two answers are what I believe to be accurate interpretations of a lawyer's obligations on client confidentiality and scope of authority in representing a client.
Yes. The fact that someone has retained you as a lawyer is not considered privileged information.

I don't think there is an opposite of lawyer. Unless you'd consider: Lawyer = Someone who understands the law. Average Citizen: Someone who does not understand the law. Otherwise, I don't see an answer for this.
The suffix 'yer' is often used to indicate someone that does something. Lawyer would be someone that does the law. Another example is sawyer, someone that saws.

A Para Lawyer is someone who is trained to assist but not yet licensed.
If you let them, sure. If someone is doing this and you don't like it, ask them to move it and if they refuse talk to a lawyer. If you let someone put their mail box on your property and keep it there for some length of time you may be creating an "easement" granting them the perpetual right to keep their mailbox there.
