Actually the whole reading out of a will thing is not actually necessary (the book I have even said it's mostly confined to the world of fiction).





The executor will usually inform the beneficiaries of the contents of the will; so if surviving relatives aren't in the will, then no, they don't have to tell them what's in it at all.In illinois, if a spouse is living, does the will of the deceased spouse have to be read to the family?
In no state is there a law that requires a reading of a will. Too many bad movies.





Executor at some point needs to submit a copy of the will after it has been thru probate and a final accounting to the heirs
Only on TV. In the real world, reading the will is quite rare. If you want a will submitted to a probate court, take it to the probate court and start the process.
