Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

I was disinheritated in my own father's will.

1. Do I have a right to see the will and the corresponding even if I am disinheritated?

2. The executor said he intends to keep this matter private and not disclosed that I have been disinheritaned to my other siblings. Is he legally obligated to read the whole will or can he leave parts out? Or can he just give them their inheritance and not let them see the will?

There are no executors in Florida. There is a Personal Representative. If you have no interest in the Probate Estate you do not have a right to get a copy of the Will. The beneficiaries of the residuary or the balance of the Estate after the specific bequests are made are entitled to the entire distribution amounts. the others are not.
