A will is effective as long as it is not revoked by the maker. However, it does not take effect until it has been filed in probate court, allowed and an executor appointed. In the case of a very old will being found there may be a problem with the witnesses not being available to testify as to its veracity and property of the deceased having already been distributed as intestate property. The will may not be allowed. If that is the case you should seek the advice of an attorney.

Can executors who have a copy of a will go to the home of the trustee remove items stated in the will before the person is deceased?
No. A will (i.e. Last Will & Testament) is inactive until a person dies. After a person dies, then the terms specified in the will can be executed by the executor/s of the will. A trustee is usually the name given to a person who is involved with the administration of a "Trust". A "Trust" and a "Last Will & Testament" are not the same legal instruments/documents (although they could be referred to in both documents for an executor/s to implement/follow).
