Probating an estate is a public process and everything is available at the surrogate's office in the county.

Usually, the attroney for the executor provides a copy of the Will to the beneficiaries, When the assets are ready for distribution and "informal accountign" is presented. This will have the income and expenses of the estate.

If the beneficaries all approve, a "Refunding Bond and release" is presented for each beneficiary to sign.

If a Will is admitted to probate, then the Executor of the Will is responsible to notify in

writing to all beneficiaries of the Will and next-of-kin of the Decedent that the Will has been probated. This must occur within 60 days from the date of probate.

You may obtain additional information from the Surrogate's Office (of the County where the Will is probated).

Best regards,
