Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Re: last will

There's no reading of the will in California, but the will is filed as part of the probate, and the persons mentioned in the will receive notice of the probate filing. A copy of the will can be sent with the notice, but if not, anyone can review the will by reviewing the court's file.

Re: last will

The will does not have to be "read" but must be filed with the court in the county where the deceased resided, and is then public record. Anyone mentioned in the will, as well as heirs at law, must be noticed if a petition for probate is filed.

Re: last will

The Will itself will be filed with the Court for administration. This will be part of the Probate process. First, Letters Testamentary will be issued and then all of the interested parties should be notified by the administrator of the estate.

Is your concern that you will not be notified or that the correct Will may not be submitted to the Court?
