What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Kentucky
Hey, I'm sort of the low man on the totem pole in my family. I'm considerably younger than my siblings, and they (and my mother) have about zero respect for me. I have a strong suspicion I've been written out of my mother's will. I've requested that she show me the will, (I know, I'm not exactly son of the year, here) but she's refused. I know she's made changes to the will that dad had originally. She cryptically discussed talking to a lawyer about another family member's status in the will. To be honest, I'm wondering if she's had me declared incompetent or something. Is there any way I can make a legal request to see the will? I've done some searching on the Internet and not found anything. Also, my dad passed away several years ago, but I wasn't around at the time. (I didn't want anything to do with my family due to the lack of respect and animosity) I assume that everything passed to my mother as expected, and I was never contacted by my brother (the executor) at the time. Should I look up my dad's will in probate? If everything simply passed to my mother would it even have to see probate court?
