If your executor is a family member, consideration should be
given to giving the original or a copy of your will, in a sealed
envelope, to said person soon after it is written and be sure
that the executor will know of your death. Then the executor will
have the information in your will so that they can confirm in
writing the instructions that you have given them verbally about
your funeral, etc. One good choice would be to leave the original
of the will in the attorneys office for safe keeping and then see
that the executor has a second copy. Give it to the executor in a
sealed envelope with instructions, on the envelope, not to open
until your death. I have my mother-in-law's will in my safe deposit
box since I am the executor. It is sealed in an envelope and will
stay that way until I'm told that she has passed away.
