One the will is put into probate by the exectuor/administrator. You do have to be named in the will, there's a difference between being an heir and being a beneficiary. In addition, if you are a beneficiary that is to receive a division of the estate once the property, taxes, etc have been settled, you are entitled to receive a copy of the all the accountings that are filed with the clerk. This was the law in the state's I worked in. The will gets filed in the county where the decedent lived. It would be best to check with the Probate Clerk to find out exactly what your entitlements and rights are.

They should have one anyhow - any beneficiaries should have a copy of the will sent with any inheritance distributed.
