This. For those who want to attend, they can. A probate attorney simply reads it off. People have questions, concerns, arguments, etc. My uncle passed and left me one of his old trucks (didn't run). My family went to the reading of the will, I didn't. I received a letter in the mail about a week later from the attorney telling me how to claim the property. I ended up donating it to charity since it would have cost more to ship from Indiana than what it was worth.
