the problem is you don't know anything at all.
Wills don't get 'read' as such.
You should be send a copy if you are a beneficiary.
If probate has been granted you can apply for a copy of the will.

I don't believe that's the case. An executor may choose to do so, and residuary beneficiaries are entitled to see accounts after the estate is dealt with, but there is absolutely no requirement to send all beneficiaries a copy of any will they're named in.

Are you certain that your father left a valid will?
