According to legalzoom, if a lawyer retires or dies, it is the responsibility of the staff to mail you the original will. However, if they retire, they may have transferred the will to another attorney or the probate court for safekeeping while giving notice to the state bar association.
Only the person who has made the Will can get a copy from the Sub-registrar's office. After the death of the person, his/her family member or the executor can get a copy of the Will after due verification of their identity.

An original will stored by you is the property of the client and after the client's death, it is the property of the estate. You should store the original will until after the death of the client, or until you are able to return the original to the client.
