If a trustee holds what they believe to be the last will of the deceased, there are to at lest submit it to the court where the deceased was domiciled. Otherwise, they run a risk of being sued by the heirs and devisees. There appears to be no requirement to give a copy to potential heirs and devisees, unless the trustee has contracted to do so with the decedent.

Good luck
