Not necessarily. The will is a private document so only those who need to see the will get to see it. For example, if you’re left a specific asset, you don’t need to see the will. If you’re not named at all, you certainly don’t need to see it. The only people who need to see it are the executor/executrix, their professional advisors, and any residual beneficiaries. A residual beneficiary is someone who will receive a portion of the remainder of the estate once all bills, debts, taxes and specific bequests have been paid.
