Whether or not a will is "read" to the heirs and beneficiaries varies by the custom of the country and state. Here in the United States, the custom of getting everyone together and reading the will to them is no longer followed (unless the Decedent placed special instructions in the will for this to be done.) Although, sometimes the attorney for the executor will meet with the family and describe the probate process and the will.
What is important, at least in California, is that the holder of the original will lodge it with the court within 30 days of the date of death. (Lodge means to file with the court, but without starting an action.) This protects the will from loss. Failure to do this step can result in damages assessed against the holder of the original will (if, for example, an heir losses out on his or her inheritance.)
For more information and probate, estate. and wills, take a look at the offerings in your local law library. Or, check you local county bar association for a lawyer referral service or with a local probate attorney.

How does a beneficiary know that the will is distributed properly?
If the estate was probated in court the estate becomes a public record. You can review the file. You may read the will, review the inventory for all the real and personal property listed and the value of the property, and then review any statements regarding distribution. You can also review the final account once it has been filed. If you have any questions, you can direct them to the executor and/or the attorney who is handling the estate.

Is biological son entitled to a share of fathers estate when there is no will in the state of Colorado?
Yes, in Colorado, if a person dies without a will, their estate is distributed according to state intestacy laws. In Colorado, if there are no surviving spouse, children are entitled to a share of the estate. So, a biological son would likely be entitled to a portion of the father's estate if there is no will.
