He can and you probably can't find out as there is no central repository for wills. The best you can do is have a contract between you saying that in consideration for doing mutual reciprocal wills, each of you promises not to change your will. At least then you could sue his estate if he does change his will.

My question is, do you think he did? If so, your problems are more than the will.
