More details to this question:
My grandfather died and I was just advised his wife removed the original will documents from the lawyers office. We found out his home is transferred to a trust they agreed to do two years ago. My question is she able to disappear that will and keep all the estate with granting his wishes on the will?

The will would have to be probated and is what governs. However, the trust would also govern and keep the assets out of probate. Call me if you have any questions.
