The answer

It is not permissible to conceal a will, based on the words of Allah the Almighty: "Then whoever alters it after hearing it, the sin thereof is only upon those who alter it. Indeed, Allah is Hearing, Knowing." This includes concealment. If the sister, by concealing the will, causes a delay in the distribution of the inheritance, then the matter must be referred to the court.
