What is the name of your state? Iowa
My mother recently died this past January. My sister was named the executor of her estate. In the first paragraph of the will, it named her (my sister) as the beneficiary of my mother's home and physical contents. Well and fine.
In the second paragraph (the only place I am named formally), the will states that any cash assets are to be divided equally between my sister and myself ie bank accounts, investments, stocks, insurance etc payable to the estate.
In the interest of full disclosure and transparancy, how do I go about finding out how much cash, insurance etc my mother had?
There is an attorney handling the estate legal issues. And, the special circumstances are my mother lived in Texas where my sister (executor) also lives. And, I live in Iowa.
Thank you in advance for any guidance you can offer.What is the name of your state?
