Re: Beneficiary
An executor (what we now call the Personal Representative of the Estate)must be appointed by the Probate Court and the petition for appointment requires that the Will be filed with the Court as well. So, if the Will was filed with the Court and a petition for appointment of a personal representative, you should have been given notice in writing and a copy of the Will. You can also go to the court file and get a copy of what was filed.
