Anyone can get a copy of a will once it has been dealt with by the Probate office. They may ask to see a copy of so and so's will to check whether they have been left anything, or simply to satisfy their curiosity as to how the dead person's estate was divided up.
Leaving a will, the money/property goes to the people you state. Without a will, the rules of intestacy kick in, where the money cascades from father down to son and so on. But if there are no children, it "fails" and the money goes back to make "the pot" bigger for everyone else who is a beneficiary. So it's different if there is a will, better, more controlled.
