"readings" are not required. The will must be filed at the courthouse, so you an read it yourself.

Technically, there isn't a "reading of the will". That's only in the movies. The will is required to be filed in the probate court of the county where the decedent died. Once the will is deposited with the court it becomes public record and you can get a copy of it from the court's clerk for approximately $1.00 per page. Should you have further questions, please feel free to contact me.
