What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? RI
My father died unexpectedly about a month ago. He was remarried and my sisters and I were not terribly close with his wife. Friendly, but not close. Since his death, she hasn't been open with any information about his estate. She has avoided answering direct questions about whether he had a will or not, and gets upset with us when we ask her anything. She has also started acting strange saying that our father had secrets, that we have to behave a certain way (not gossip, not get divorced, etc.) for us to get anything from him (????). Basically, we just want to know the facts. We want answers and we want closure. And we want to have her leave us alone. What can we do? Thanks in advance.
