There is no requirement in Georgia that a Will be "read," and so there is no requirement that all of any certain group of people have to be present if it is read.
However, if you are an heir of a deceased person (a family member who, under state law, would receive assets from that person's probate estate if there were no Will), then in Georgia you are entitled to receive a copy of the Will if it is offered for probate. If a Will has been offered for probate but you weren't given a copy (which, unfortunately, does often happen when proposed Executors don't know what they are supposed to do), you can get a copy from the probate court. You can also demand one from the proposed Executor. You can then read it yourself.
