Yes, once the Will has been filed ("lodged") with the Probate Court it becomes a public record. You can just go to the Probate Court in the county where the person died and look it up.
If the person is still alive, then no -- it is a private document and no one has any right to see it.
She is may be on drugs she is married to my son she has a boyfriend canmy son get help can I see my Granddaughters
Your rights are derived from your sons rights. You should have your son take her back to court for a parenting schedule and to enforce parenting time. Then you can see them during his parenting time.
MORE INFO NEEDED.
IF THE POLICE CONTACT THE DA AND THE DA FILES THEN YOU HAVE TO GO TO COURT TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.

I'm wondering if this is child endangerment and if I, as the 18 y/o sister of the children and step daughter of the parent, can press charges or what kinds of legal action I can take.

In a word, no, because the California courts will not have jurisdiction over either the conservatee or the conservator. You will need to contact an attorney where the conservatee now resides. Good luck to you. This is a difficult situation.
more info needed.
however, if police have been called you can check with the DA's office to check the status.
some offices have a victims coordination section or you can check with the filling deputy or the person who answers to check on the status.
Do I need to do conservitership, at what time and for what reason since we are her natural parents?
You do not need a conservatorship until the child turns 18. The conservatorship then will allow you to still continue to make all of their decisions for them as you care for them. The process takes 3 or 4 months so start early. Many places can provide you with help at that time; here in San... Read more »
He pays monthly child support; deducted from paycheck. I found him on Facebook and sent him copy of son’s hospital bill; been 35 days and zero response. Is he in Contempt of Court? What are my next steps? Thank you!
If the insurance is State funded, you can contact the Attorney General to enforce the Court Order. Otherwise, you need to hire a lawyer to file a Motion to Enforce the Child Support Order. He can be served out of State with the Motion to Enforce. Eventually, the Court could hold him in contempt.... Read more »

Often CPS and the courts ask the parents to do things like drug test and attend classes to make sure the parent is committed to ensuring the children's safety and well being. Often success requires cooperating with CPS and showing them that you are all about the kids.

It depends on whether your power of attorney is durable, whether your authority under that power of attorney is effective immediately or only upon incapacity, and the express powers given to you. It also depends on whether that power of attorney remains effective or has been revoked.

Hi petitioner filed for separation of marriage (FL100) and then filed motion to dismiss 20 days later. Do I need to file a response if petitioner filed motion to dismiss shortly after she filed for separation of marriage?

If the case is dismissed, you do not need to file your response. If she filed an actual motion and there is a hearing date... Read more »
