Law cases

First of all, let me say how wonderful this community is. You people all rock my socks. :)

So my question--couldn't find anything applicable on Wikipedia or Google or AJ. It's fairly simple: how long do lawyers keep cases on file? Forever? A certain number of years? Like, let's say that one of my characters had a lawyer draw up his will in 1940--would the record of it still be there sixty years later?

Thanks!!!
