Your original question. If there is a will and a registered copy. The will is the original document, so you can see orignal handwriting signatures etc. The regsietered copy should not but may include errors or omissions (pcc ones have spaces because they could not read the writing!)

But the registered copy will also contain the date of when it was proved and who the executors were (as opposed to who were asked to act), which may not be annotated on the original.

I would go for the original in the first place and the copy only if you need the extra info.
