Did he have the will in his possession? I don't know. Your question suggests facts of which I am not aware, feel free to contact me:

Anyone in possesion of a signed Will is required to file it in the Registry Probate of the County in which the testator died where it becomes a public record and can be viewed by anyone. If they fail to do so you can retain an attorney to file a Petition in that County Probate Court to require the Will be filed there. Good Luck!
