No, a person need not be notified if they are removed as the benficiary of a Will. An inhertiance is a gift; so as a general rule it is not obligatory that it be given. That having been said, if you think that your removel was the result of some form of undue influence, fraud or the like over the testaor (i.e. the maker of the Will, then you may have a cause of action for that.
