More details to this question:
My aunt passed away and she has a son that lives in another country. He can''t assist us in looking for a will. Several people that was close to her said that she had a will, but we can''t find it. We consulted a lawyer so we could go through the process of getting an administrator for her estate. My question is if her son is named the sole beneficiary, what if down the line we find a will and he is not named in it? What happens then?

It is to your benefit, if indeed you believe she disinherited her son, to find the will. In the absence of a will, if she was not married at the time of her passing, then her children would be entitled to her estate.
