If a person listed in a will has died before it is read does it go to the estate?

Despite what you see in the movies or TV will aren't read in some sort of meeting.
What you're describing is a lapse that is the person who was named in a will as a beneficiary dies before the person making the will. Happens a lot. Sometimes the testator will name a backup beneficiary or the will may state that the property becomes part of the residual.
So it depend on the language of the will.
