My parents have both passed away. The attorney's office who drafted their will refuses to let me see it or have a copy, stating that only the executor can see it.
The executor is my sister and she refuses to let me see our parents' will.
I have no file dates or case #'s to assist me in my search. Please help.
Your sister has to follow the Will. She is responsible to see if there are any debts outstanding. These must be paid before beneficiaries get their money. If she doesn't follow the Will, she can be sued.
If you have any reason to suspect that your sister is doing the wrong thing, it might help to get your own lawyer to write a formal ‘lawyer’s letter’ saying that legal proceedings will be taken against her if she does not provide a copy of the will and it then appears that the estate has not been dealt with properly. Frightener letters are often good value for a small cost.
