Left money in what capicity?
If life insurance or financial product with a named beneficiary like IRA, annuity, or qualified retirement plan, then all you need to do is contact the plan sponsor or insurance company and provide proof of death, death certificate.
If it's money sitting in a savings account, then you'll have to go through the probate process assuming there is a Will.

Yes, once the validity and genuineness of the will is proven, it gets admitted to probate as per instructions from the court. It becomes a public record only after probation.
