What is the name of your state? TX
My Dad passed away over 3 months ago in another state (Iowa). My older brother is executor of the will. My dad was a widower and when he remarried 20 years ago, he and stepmom agreed to keep all of their finances separate. Stepmom has already told us that she has bought Dad's share of their house and paid it to his estate.
There is also a family corporation involved. Older brother and Dad had voting stock, younger brother and I had non-voting stock. Dad had said when this was set up that older brother would keep control of the corporation when he died, and that my younger brother and I would receive a cash settlement.
My executor brother has been very closed-mouth about the estate. I just want to know what's up. I've never seen a copy of the will. Do I have a right to request a copy of it? Thanks!
If I am named an heir, is the executor required to show me a copy of the will?
