how long after a funeral does the will reading take place?

Question

generally, how long after someone dies is their will read? if my grandfather died, and my grandmother is still alive (as well as 3 out of 4 kids and most grandkids and friends) who all is present for this? and if i dont trust their lawyer (hes my uncle by marriage and im not his biggest fan), he legally HAS to do whatever is in the will, right? even though hes the lawyer? my grandparents have a will thats influenced by him and one of their sons (i believe they had a lot to do with who was getting what) and my grandmother told me that she and my grandfather went down and secretly changed it without them. that means, they need to follow the new will now that my grandfather passed away? and if hes gone and my grammy is still here, will she get everything and then passed down later on when she (god forbid) passes on? or will it be divided up because hes gone?

i dont really appreciate you judging me and assuming i was hounding them about their wills. the only thing i have ever been told about his will was something to do with us and i have never once asked about this, since it was 11 yrs ago.

my grandmother volunteered the information i mentioned here to my sister out of nowhere one day on hte phone and my grandother never talks legal with us because it was always my grampy who did that stuff. think before you speak, because the not the whole world are money hungry grubbers.

i was asking this question simply out of curiosity and im not expecting in any way to get anything from him.
