What rights as beneficiary do I have for personal property?
What is the name of your state? Washington State
Good morning. My mother passed away this past February. My younger sister and one of my mothers friends were named executors of my mothers estate. Since her passing, the friend has forgone all executorship rights thus leaving my sister as the only executor. My sister and her husband have changed the locks on my mothers home barring myself or anyone else from entering. According to my mothers will, my sister and I were left equal distributions of 35% of her estate. My sister has barred me from acquiring any of my mothers personal effects from her home. She and her husband have taken possession of all of the contents of my mothers home stating she is entitled to them as executor. Is this legal? Is there anyway to be allowed into my mothers home to retrieve the items that I would like to retain, family photos, books etc?
Please advise.
