Does a lawyer have to file the last will and testament of their client to court system?

Are all lawyers (by the State of Mississippi) required to file the last will and testament of their client after death to the court system? If so, how long do they have after a person dies to file? If they do have to file, are the records public or do you have to fill out proper forms to obtain? If you are a child of the deceased, do you still have to fill out the same forms?

Lawyers must do what they have been hired to do. If hired to write a will, they should write a will. If hired by survivors to get the will through probate, they should get the will through probate.
