How do I find out the contents of my grandfather’s Will?

As far as I know I have not been named in it. He married my biological grandmother who predeceased him, then he remarried.

Is he dead or alive?  You have no right to view the Will if he is alive.  But if he has passed and he has a WIll that has been offered for Probate then it is a public record and anyone can view the Probate file.  You need to go to the Probate Court in the county in which he resided at the time of his death.  Good luck.
