Assuming the testator of the will is deceased, the person's having need to know may file a request with the probate court for a copy of the Will. If the testator is not deceased, only they can make the contents of the will known, the executor would be acting on the behalf of the testator in matters of confidentiality and could not reveal the terms.

If the power to sell real estate was granted in the will then the executor has the power to sell it. However, if ALL the beneficiaries agree that the property should be retained they should insist the property not be sold. Remember that the beneficiaries own the real estate. If the executor proceeds to try to sell the property the beneficiaries should petition the court to review the matter ASAP.
