There is no legal requirement, but it is in your best interests to be present. Suppose there is a provision that only the people who attend the first reading of the will gets a share of the inheritence? Also consider that if there is a dispute about who gets what, it is best to be there to make sure everybody plays fair.

The scene where all the relatives sit around the lawyer's desk while he reads out the provisions leaving grandpa's fortune to an exotic dancer is a theatrical fiction.

no, and honestly I don't know of a formal "reading" who ever is the exectitor of the will merely informs each party as to what they have been recieved

no, the will itself is the legal instrument. It doesn't have to be 'read' the way you see in movies.
