I am so sorry for your loss.  If you are a beneficiary under the Will you should receive a copy with notice that the Will is being offered for probate.  Otherwise, you can go down to the Probte Court in the county in which the Will has been filed and review it.  Once a Last Will and Testament is filed it becomes a public record.  Good luck.
