More details to this question:
A distant relative passed away and I was named in the will as a successor beneficiary. I only found out by word of mouth that I was named and did not get anything from an attorney or personal representative or the court. The published response deadline is in one month and I don''t know who to contact.

Contact a lawyer experienced in probate immediately, to represent your interests. If you know the attorney handling the estate probate you can call that attorney and ask for information, but he or she does not represent you and you will be better protected with your own lawyer.
To answer your question, you should have been notified.
