If someone who has the will is delaying filing it with the court, another person can file a motion to produce a will.

I am presuming that no action has been taken by anyone, and that the assets are still in the decedent's name.
Technically, a person in possession of a will is obligated to present it to the court. A beneficiary who does not do so within 3 years loses his or her inheritence.
