Best Answer

The will should be filed for probate promptly. If the person in possession of the will won't file it then other family members should notify them that they will file for an Administration in one week. If the will isn't produced then a Petition for Administration should be filed and the estate will be distributed according to the laws of intestacy. If the person is holding on to the will to obstruct the wishes of the testator then someone should file a complaint against them so they will be required to appear before a judge to explain their actions.
