No, not without your parents permission.
Why hoping that they will kick the bucket soon or something?
This question is just creepy.

A will is a private document until the testator dies and it becomes lodged with the Probate Court. Ask your parents to talk to you and your sister about it. If they don't want to then the lawyer is not going to help you. Your claim to know about the estate does not ripen until the testators are dead. If you were in a trust situation, then the beneficiaries, you and your sister, would have a right to an accounting from the trustees of the trust, presumably your parents. It is a different scenario due to the nature of the trust contract as opposed to the will that comes from property law.

If your parents are still alive, their lawyer will ask your parents for permission to show it to you. The lawyer's duty is to their client (your parents), not to anyone else (you/your sister).

No. A will is their business, not yours.
