They have to be someone named in the will. Or they must be a 'natural heir' someone listed in the intestacy laws of the state. That usually means a descendant of the testator.
They may never see it. Once the testator dies, the will may become public knowledge.
The only person who can change a Will is the living testator. Once the testator has died the Will cannot be changed. You cannot change another person's Will.
