If you are the executor, it's actually pretty remiss of you to not have read it. Being an executor is a super important and big job.
If you're just a beneficiary and somebody else is going to be the executor it doesn't matter as much, but you should still read it over if for no other reason than to flag potential problems in order to help them/their estate. Your perspective is important because you're going to be one of the ones left dealing with the fall out of their passing. Ounce of prevention and all.

I can't recommend this enough. Hind sight being what it is, I wish I had sat down with my Dad and gone over his will.
